Ryan Tubridy said he is committed to rebuilding the trust of listeners and the public after a report into the understatement of his pay backed his claim that a misapplication of accounting rules by RTÉ was to blame.

The national broadcaster on Wednesday published a report by Grant Thornton into the affair, which found that RTÉ "on the balance of probabilities" understated the former Late Late Show host's earnings to make it appear that he had earned less than €500,000 per year.
