The organisation has received a sum of €150,000 from Mr Tubridy, relating to a disputed payment arrangement made in 2020, reports RTE.
Mr Tubridy departed RTÉ after several weeks of controversy over the broadcaster’s failure to fully disclose his earnings.
He had also been the long-standing presenter of RTÉ’s The Late Late Show, reports RTE.
RTÉ confirmed in a statement that the money was received through Mr Tubridy’s solicitor.
“RTÉ welcomes the payment and would like to thank Ryan Tubridy for making it,” it said, reports RTE.
In a statement released on behalf of Mr Tubridy, he said: “Earlier today I made a payment of 150,000 euro to RTE. I made this payment through my solicitor, without any discussions with RTÉ – or with anyone acting on their behalf – and without condition. I have said on various occasions that I intended making this payment and I’m happy to have been able to do so today,” reports RTE.
