RTÉ has seen a significant drop in income due to the Ryan Tubridy payments controversy, leading many households to refuse the TV licence fee, impacting overall revenue.
The financial report highlights that while operating costs rose by €9.3 million due to union agreements, commercial revenue fell slightly. RTÉ's reliance on government funding is evident.
The disparity in salaries within RTÉ is striking, with many top earners, including executives, not appearing on air, raising questions about their value to the organization.
Despite financial struggles, top executives at RTÉ are receiving salaries comparable to or even exceeding those of popular on-air personalities, contradicting the organization's public image of struggling financially.
