The presenter is currently facing the Oireachtas Media Committee.
Ryan Tubridy has told an Oireachtas Committee he could be out of a job by Friday.
The RTÉ presenter has said his good name has been dragged through the mud in recent weeks and strongly denies he was overpaid.
He has outlined seven untruths he believes have been told recently in relation to him and his pay.
The former Late Late Show host also says the toll of the controversy made it hard for him to even leave his house.
The Oireachtas Media Committee is now hearing testimony after evidence to the Public Accounts Committee, chaired by Laois Offaly Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley, earlier.
Under questioning from TD Alan Dillon, he said his employment status is uncertain:
Deputy Dillon continued with a question to Mr. Tubridy's agent, Noel Kelly.
Mr. Kelly said he had nothing to do with RTÉ's decision to underwrite a commercial deal to top-up Ryan Tubridy's payments:
These people have mixed views about who is to blame for the payments scandal:
Several bars across the country are screening the committees, with some calling it "Tubs in the Pubs".
These people watching the Public Accounts Committee at Devitt's pub in Dublin earlier gave their take on the controversy:
Ryan Tubridy says he'd be happy to have future contracts of his published to avoid any "codology" further down the line.
He added he has nothing to hide and would be willing to have his contract posted online for everyone to see it with their own eyes:
The booking of guests for the Late Late Show was raised by Fine Gael TD, Brendan Griffin.
Noel Kelly, said he has never asked to get anyone on the Late Late, other than Ryan:
Ryan Tubridy's agent says he brings 'very little' to RTÉ, in terms of advertising.
The former Late Late Show host also says the toll of the controversy made it hard for him to even leave his house.
The Committee hearings are entering their fifth hour.
Noel Kelly was questioned on what he brings to RTÉ by Midlands Fine Gael Senator Micheál Carrigy:
Questions remain over the origins of the Renault agreement - underwritten by RTÉ - that saw Ryan Tubridy paid 75-thousand euro per year through a barter account.
Former RTÉ midlands correspondent Ciarán Mullooly says Noel Kelly's claim that neither he nor his client had any relationship with the car company "won't wash" with RTÉ staff:
The Director General of RTE says he hopes it will be known by the end of the month if Ryan Tubridy returns to air.
He was responding to comments by the presenter at the Oireachtas Media Committee he could be out of a job by Friday.
DG Kevin Bakhurst insists that won't be the case.
However, he says it's a serious decision the broadcaster has to make in the next few weeks:
He has also rejected claims the blame for the payments controversy lies solely with RTE:
