PAC wins battle to secure legal note from RTE on Tubridy deal

RTÉ has succumbed to requests from the Public Accounts Committee to provide a legal note detailing a meeting between Dee Forbes and Ryan Tubridy’s agent.

It has been argued that RTÉ agreed to underwrite the €75,000 a year payments to Mr Tubridy from Renault during this meeting. It reads: “The former Director General will ensure any sponsorship of the Late Late Show would involve a portion like they were talking a lot here .The note then “refers to person from NK Management” who said that they believed RTÉ would “underwrite” the arrangement.

The summary stated that Ms Forbes appeared to “indicate that we all want this to work; we’ve reputations to uphold”.NK Management also queried what would happen if another Director General was appointed.RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst previously said the note could not be provided due to legal advice received by the national broadcaster. PAC members told him that they would compel it if it was not handed over.
