Ryan Tubridy has welcomed the findings of the Grant Thornton report into RTÉ's payments — and repeated his offer to publish the details of any future RTÉ contract he receives.

The report, published on Wednesday, has suggested it is “a very plausible explanation” that fees paid by RTÉ to its star presenter were underdeclared by €120,000 from 2017-2019 to keep the payments under the €500,000 mark.
