Ruairí Ó Murchú (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

There is obviously a fair bit of commentary on this. There is a slight dispute on it, and I will just read this quote rather than paraphrasing it.

However, a source close to Mr Tubridy told the Irish Independent he does not believe that his contract is terminated and plans to contest that assertion by the national broadcaster.

"We reject the suggestion that the contract is terminated. The precedent is when contracts change like this and when one element, be it TV or radio goes, that the contract is amended to reflect the change, but it is not terminated.

"We will be making that very clear to RTÉ. We believe it's black and white," the source added.

I imagine this will go to lawyers and whatever else-----
