RTÉ has rejected claims that it concealed internal documents which shows it knew that errors in Ryan Tubridy’s published pay were its fault, and not his, before the scandal broke.

The national broadcaster moved to clarify its position in the wake of media reports which claimed the RTÉ board knew that a €120,000 error in Ryan Tubridy's pay was RTÉ’s own fault before it named him publicly as the star involved in a payments scandal which ultimately cost him his job.
