RTÉ’s Ryan Tubridy will be off air this morning after the national broadcaster was rocked by revelations that it made hidden payments totalling €345,000 to the top presenter.

Chairwoman of RTÉ board Siún Ní Raghallaigh admitted that the broadcaster misled the Government, its staff, and the public over payments to Mr Tubridy during a six-year period.
