Dáil committee hears 'concerns' about high pay of RTÉ stars

'Most people would find the salaries of the top 10 earners at RTÉ to be outrageous given the massive public funding that RTÉ receives' the Public Accounts Committee heard

Ryan Tubridy, Ray D'Arcy and Joe Duffy are among the top earners in RTÉ.

The level of pay being paid to top RTÉ talent is "a concern", a Dáil committee has heard.

Social Democrats co-leader Catherine Murphy made the comment in a Dáil Public Accounts Committee session with secretary-general of the Department of Communications Mark Griffin, which touched on a number of issues, including RTÉ, the National Broadband Plan and An Post.
