Laois' Sean O'Rourke and Claire Byrne are among the top 10.

The salaries for the 10 highest paid RTÉ presenters amounted to €3.2 million in 2019.

Ryan Tubridy remains the best paid broadcaster at the station, earning just under €500,000 euro in 2019.

Ray Darcy, Joe Duffy, Portlaoise native Sean O'Rourke and the late Marian Finucane rounded out the top five. The four were paid between €328,000 and €450,000 each during the year.

Mountrath's Claire Byrne ranks 7th, earning a €250,000 last year.

RTE says it has since cut the salaries of its top earners by a further 15 percent in 2020.
