The continued resuscitation of Ryan Turbridy’s career by the media is honestly perplexing. I agree that Mr. Tubridy was largely a by-stander in the RTÉ affair of 2023, however he was central to RTÉ’s insistence that their top talent must be paid well to retain them and their audiences, it was this belief that lead to the agreement between Renualt and RTÉ. Tubridy, Pat Kenny and Ray D’Arcy* have all largely proven this to be untrue on several occasions over the years.
