Former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy continues to be paid by RTÉ, according to the Irish national broadcaster’s interim deputy director-general.

Tubridy continued to appear on a weekday radio programme after stepping down from the flagship television show earlier this year, but was taken off air for “editorial reasons” in the wake of a scandal involving misstated payments to the star presenter.
