Eh, Tubs, will you pay my TV licence bill for me, please? A financial statement declaring the earnings of Top Presenters was released this afternoon by RTÉ. And while the figures demonstrate a 40pc cut between 2008 and 2014, the salaries are still astronomical for the state broadcaster. The report shows that Ryan Tubridy, Joe Duffy and Marian Finucane top the earns list earning €495,000, €416,893 and €295,000 respectively. Pat Kenny earned in 2008 earning €950,976 but failed to make the top ten in 2014. The cuts demonstrate the broadcasters commitment to reducing fees and figures show a 40 percent decrease. RTÉ Director-General Noel Curran said in a statement: “With our commitment to reducing top talent presenter fees by over 30%, we acknowledged that fees were too high in the past and needed to be reduced. The audited figures released today for 2012, 2013 and 2014 see RTÉ exceed our public commitment to significantly reduce the fees paid to our on-air talent while continuing to value the contribution they make to our public service. "The reductions come as part of a comprehensive programme of reform which has taken place across the organisation in recent years and which has helped RTÉ deliver a break-even financial result in each of the last two years."
