RTE chief Kevin Bakhurst said it is a “source of frustration” that his predecessor has not spoken or answered questions about the Ryan Tubridy pay scandal.

While he admitted his first months in the top job have not been the type of challenge he expected, the Director General added he is not “bitter or angry” about signing a seven-year contract weeks before the broadcaster became engulfed in scandal. In June, it emerged RTE had under-declared Tubridy’s salary by €345,000 over a five-year period.

Oireachtas Committee meetings and subsequent inquiries uncovered a number of financial irregularities including barter accounts, side deals and extraordinary spending habits.
