I do not mean to interrupt Ms Ní Raghallaigh but on 22 June, RTÉ issued the following statement:

In addition ... [to the] following the furnishing of the findings of the Grant Thornton review, RTÉ carried out a review of Mr. Tubridy’s previously stated remunerations. Through this review, it was identified that Mr. Tubridy’s remuneration had been ... [underestimated] by RTÉ by a figure of €120,000 over the contract period of 2017-2019. The circumstances that led to this understatement by RTÉ are currently under examination.

[...]

Grant Thornton will also review the understatement by RTÉ of Mr. Tubridy’s published remuneration by €120,000 ... [during] the period 2017-2019.

There was an internal review that discovered the €120,000 issue that was not published. This was between the first Grant Thornton report and the second, which I understand is ongoing.
