Ryan Tubridy could be entitled to nearly €11,500 in pay for his radio show since he has been taken off air by RTÉ.

Figures detailed by the presenter’s agent Noel Kelly to the Oireachtas this week revealed that Mr Tubridy received €240,000 for his television work.

This leaves him with €200,000 for radio work, as per the €440,000 contract.

It works out at just under €4,000 per week, with the former Late Late Show host off air for three weeks already. Mr Tubridy insists he is still under contract at RTÉ.

The news comes as new RTÉ boss Kevin Bakhurst revealed yesterday that the national broadcaster received an invoice from Mr Tubridy “this week”.

RTÉ later clarified to Independent.ie that the invoice was received last month and was for Mr Tubridy’s TV and radio work.
