'We don't need RTÉ': Public complain about broadcaster following Ryan Tubridy pay scandal 

There were multiple messages about payments of the TV licence with one person saying they had paid 'diligently' but could no longer justify it.

The department responsible for RTÉ was flooded with angry letters from the public demanding the station’s management be sacked, asking why Ryan Tubridy had been scapegoated, and with promises to boycott the TV licence.

Letters sent to Culture Minister Catherine Martin reveal the depth of feeling about RTÉ’s spending controversy with one saying they were delighted the “cesspit” in Montrose had been exposed.
