One of RTÉ’s top earners, Miriam O’Callaghan, shared in a bumper 21% pay rise at her media firm last year, with directors enjoying a pay-pot of €204,238.

That’s according to new figures filed by Baby Blue Productions Ltd with the Companies Office, showing pay to the firm’s two directors, Miriam O’Callaghan and her daughter, Alannah McGurk, jumped by €35,945 from €168,293 up to €204,238.

Ms O’Callaghan, through payments made by RTÉ to her Baby Blue Productions firm for her presenting work, would receive the vast majority, if not all, of the directors’ pay, though no breakdown is provided in the accounts.
