After Ryan Tubridy departure, Joe Duffy now RTÉ's highest paid presenter

Based on the latest figures — which were published in June and which only cover the years 2020 and 2021 — Joe Duffy is now the highest paid star, on €351,000.

Ryan Tubridy’s abrupt departure from RTÉ brings to an end his reign as the broadcaster’s highest paid star.

Whether it is as simple as everyone under him in the pay charts moving up one remains to be seen as RTÉ does not discuss its stars' salaries without their consent.
