Ryan Tubridy is in talks to return to RTÉ on a salary of under €200,000 per year after a report into the understating of his pay found that neither he nor his agent had anything to do with the accounting adjustments.

Mr Tubridy, who last year earned €440,000 for his radio and The Late Late Show role, has also volunteered to return the €150,000 in payments he received from the state broadcaster as part of the controversial commercial deal with Renault, which was underwritten by RTÉ.
