The director general of RTÉ Kevin Bakhurst has said he no longer wants to talk about Ryan Tubridy and has not spoken to him since he made the decision the former Late Late Show host would not be returning to the airwaves.

Mr Bakhurst also has said he has begun speaking to top presenters about reducing their salaries and their reaction “varies” depending on which presenter he talks to.
