RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst has held a one-to-one meeting with Ryan Tubridy this week, as the controversy surrounding the state broadcaster's undeclared payments to the former Late Late Show host continues.

In a statement, RTÉ said the pair "had a good, open, and constructive conversation and will meet again in a few weeks".
