RTÉ: Ryan Tubridy payments — a timeline

Media minister Catherine Martin makes a statement at Government Buildings, Dublin after the RTÉ controversy. 

After days of non-stop pressure on the national broadcaster, RTÉ published a report on Tuesday evening from Grant Thornton into the payment of the two sums to Ryan Tubridy of €75,000 for the years 2021 and 2022.

That report found that RTÉ’s legal team was of the view that the decision to guarantee and underwrite the €75,000 was made by director general Dee Forbes.
