The Board of RTE is examining in detail a second Grant Thornton report, which examined the understatement of Ryan Tubridy's published fees by € 120,000 from 2017 to 2019.

It's not clear when the report will be published.

A spokesperson for the board said it will be the subject of detailed consideration by the board and its audit and risk committee.

An Oireachtas Committee heard that Ryan Tubridy was due a € 120,000 loyalty bonus at the end of his contract which ran from 2015 - 2020, but it was not paid.

The broadcaster has been off air from his radio show since the payments scandal broke in June.

RTÉ has been engulfed in controversy since it admitted it had underdeclared Mr Tubridy's earnings by € 345,000 from 2017 to 2022.

The figure includes three € 75,000 annual payments received by Mr Tubridy for proposed public appearances for Renault, as part of a tripartite agreement involving the sponsor, RTÉ and the presenter.
