RTÉ said there was a “growing urgency” to publish a list of its highest earner salaries in internal emails from more than two months ago - but the broadcaster is still yet to release the figures.

Records reveal how there has been discussion over which year’s set of figures to publish because fees have further fallen over the past twelve months.
