NUJ members at RTÉ hold protest over secret payments by the broadcaster
On 27 June, approximately 200 employees at RTÉ demonstrated against recent revelations that the public service broadcaster had failed to disclose payments made to Ryan Tubridy.
Hundreds gathered to demand transparency, truth and clarity on recent developments. The NUJ has expressed its alarm at the recent crisis, with chapel members passing a motion expressing anger over the secret payments.
Séamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, has said “RTE staff deserve better, the Oireachtas deserves better, the Irish public deserve better.” He has called on the chair of the RTÉ board to meet with each executive board member to clarify their individual involvement.
