Claire Byrne, who was seventh on the list in 2019, rose to fourth in 2020 and third in 2021. Ms Byrne, who succeeded Sean O’Rourke as the presenter of Radio 1′s mid-morning current affairs programme in August 2020, saw her fees increase from €250,000 in 2019 to €282,917 in 2020 and then €350,000 in 2021. She also presented Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ One during this time.
The promised cut formed part of a broader agreement made between RTÉ and the Government in late 2019 as the broadcaster sought and received additional public money to fulfil its remit. Prime Time and Sunday with Miriam presenter Miriam O’Callaghan is in fifth place on the 2021 list, up from sixth in 2019, though her pay has also declined. In 2019, she earned €320,000 from RTÉ, but this fell to €263,500 in the two subsequent years.
Morning Ireland presenter Áine Lawlor was in tenth spot in the 2020 list, when her salary was €183,662, but as she was not in the top 10 in 2021, her pay for that year was not disclosed.
They didn't cut their pay, they gave them more holidays, same money for less work,
I switch from RTE1 to listen my USB music disk at 9:02am every day.
Good they were over paid and three are associated with Ff the moribund party
Cut it by 90%
Ryan Tubridy's Ego you're watching RTE!

50% would b more like it!
I’ve switched the dial, can’t stand RTE and their bad programs any longer. I’m totally converted now.
On the breadline they are 🙄
Promotion in RTÉ is based on who your Daddy plays golf with, not your talent. Anyone could do their jobs. RTÉ has lost the Irish people with it's woke, pro-immigrant, far left bias.
Beggar's belief why are earth is rte permitted to pay these obscene salaries 🙄
