That's according to the Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee.
The Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee doesn't think Ryan Tubridy and agent Noel Kelly exonerated themselves yesterday.
The pair were grilled by TDs and Senators for over five hours at two Oireachtas committees, with speculation continuing this morning about whether the former Late Late Show presenter will keep his job.
RTÉ Senior Executives are due to appear before the Public Accounts Committee again tomorrow.
PAC Chair and Laois Offaly Sinn Féin TD Brian Stanley says Mr. Tubridy and Mr. Kelly came with a story that isn't credible:
RTE has many questions to answer after yesterday's committee hearings with Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly.
They have to rebut claims that numerous RTE executives were aware of the side deal done with Renault and that it was underwritten by the broadcaster.
PAC member James O'Connor says they also want to ask former Director General Dee Forbes about it when she is fit and well enough.
However, the Fianna Fáil TD has criticised the amount of time the committee had to read a 39 page document presented by Tubridy and Noel Kelly's team
The appearance is dominating headlines again this morning, with speculation continuing about whether Ryan Tubridy will keep his job.
Deputy O'Connor who's a member of the public accounts committee says it was unrealistic to analyse the documentation thoroughly prior to the meeting.
The Public expenditure Minister believes it is 'likely' that RTE will come to the government to seek a bailout.
No approach has been made to the government as yet, but yesterday Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said any bailout in the past came with strict conditions.
The broadcaster is expected to face major funding challenges as a result of the payment's scandal.
Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe wouldn't be drawn on what the government's response would be to a potential bailout application:
Staff at RTÉ are 'absolutely livid,' as the payments scandals continues to make the front pages.
That's according to a former employee at the State Broadcaster.
It's been nearly three weeks since the scandal first came to light, when RTÉ released a statement detailing hidden payments, totaling €345,000 made to Presenter Ryan Tubridy between 2017 and 2022.
Former Head of Innovation at RTÉ and Portarlington man, Glen Mulcahy, says the broadcaster has 'thrown away' the public's trust:
The Enterprise Minister says he will continue to recuse himself from discussions on RTÉ’s future - despite his brother leaving the executive board.
Rory Coveney resigned as Director of Strategy at RTÉ on Sunday, ending his 15 year long career at the station.
His brother, Minister Simon Coveney, thinks it would still be inappropriate for him to get involved in any issues relating to the reform of RTÉ:
