RTE will issue a "comprehensive statement" setting out its understanding of the circumstances surrounding the misstating of Ryan Tubridy's earnings.
The broadcaster said they will issue the statement tomorrow afternoon and include "as much as possible" of the Grant Thornton review, which was commissioned by the Audit and Risk Committee of the RTÉ Board. The review was received by the Board on Monday last, June 19.
They said in a statement today: "RTE is acutely aware that the issues that were communicated by the RTE Board in its statement last Thursday have raised profound questions.
"The public, public representatives and RTÉ staff want to know what happened, how it happened and who is accountable. We are very mindful of the need to provide clarity as soon as possible, and we are committed to doing so.

"Tomorrow afternoon, RTÉ will issue a comprehensive statement setting out its understanding of the circumstances surrounding the misstating of Ryan Tubridy's earnings across the 2020-2022 period."
RTE added that the circumstances that led to the misstatement of Ryan Tubridy's earnings from 2017-2019 are separately being reviewed by Grant Thornton and "therefore will not be included in tomorrow's statement".
"Members of the RTÉ Board and Executive will be represented at the Joint Oireachtas Committee and the Public Accounts Committee this week," RTE said. "We have no further comment to make at this time."
This morning, RTE Director General Dee Forbes announced her immediate resignation as fallout from the payments scandal continued.
