Kielty's Extra Pay: RTE's Salary Review
Description
Patrick Kielty, host of the Late Late Show, received an additional €23,980 for hosting extra programs in 2022 and 2023, bringing his total earnings to €273,980. This was due to a clause in his contract for extra pay for additional shows. Despite this, RTE maintains strict control on presenter salaries, with the director general, Kevin Bakhurst, stating that no one should earn more than him. The Minister for Communications, Patrick O’Donovan, is currently reviewing the situation. Bakhurst expressed his desire to keep Kielty as the host and aims to sort out a new pay deal.
