RTÉ denies ‘secret bonus’ claim amid ongoing pay row

RTÉ has said that there were no “secret bonuses” to staff as the row over the gender pay gap at the State broadcaster continues.

A report claimed that secret bonuses had been paid to more than 200 managers last year. However, a spokesman for the broadcaster denied the claim.

“In response to a story in this morning’s Irish Independent, RTÉ can clarify that it has not introduced ‘secret bonuses’ to RTÉ staff,” said the spokesman.
