RTÉ must explain significant contradictions between the accounts given by it and those given by Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly when it comes before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Thursday.

PAC members, who on Tuesday quizzed the former Late Late Show host and his agent for three hours, said senior RTÉ executives now have serious questions to answer as newly uncovered documents blow their original versions of events “out of the water”.
