RTE is a major outlet in Ireland for news and other media. A heavily biased outlet, they have been around a long time, with various scandals and corruption. That's one reason you hear little insightful news on the current tragedy in Ireland.

Raidió Teilifís Éireann (pronounced [ˈɾˠadʲiːoː ˈtʲɛlʲəfʲiːʃ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ] ⓘ; Irish for 'Radio [and] Television of Ireland';[2] RTÉ[n 1]) is an Irish public service broadcaster. It both produces and broadcasts programmes on television, radio and online.

RTE - Payment Scandal

The RTÉ secret payment scandal[1][2][3][4][5] relates to events from late June 2023 onwards when Ireland's main public service broadcaster RTÉ first disclosed previously unknown arrangements concerning a leading presenter's pay, and in subsequent discussions, revelations about corporate entertainment for advertising clients, management numbers and high pay, and executive exit packages.

On 22 June 2023, RTÉ announced that between 2017 and 2022 it had paid €345,000 more than had been previously disclosed to the TV and radio presenter Ryan Tubridy, whose pay was already known to be more than that of anyone else at RTÉ. The celebrity talent agent Noel Kelly of NK Management negotiated the pay supplements and played a central role in funnelling them to Tubridy.[6][7][8] The extra payments brought Tubridy's annual earnings over the €500,000 threshold each year during that time period, while allowing RTÉ to declare publicly that Tubridy was earning less than this. For the years 2020 to 2022, the extra payments were performed using a UK-based "barter account" mechanism, operated with a barter agency, Astus.[9][10]
