If the cap fits...

Kevin Bakhurst, heading to Dublin this week, will be watching events in the Seanad. Independent senator Ronan Mullen has resurrected a bill which would cap salaries at RTE, in the light of the l'affaire Tubridy. He suggests no-one should earn more than the Minister for Communications, currently on €195,000. 

According to figures published by RTE, during 2021, outgoing RTE DG Dee Forbes had a basic salary of €225,000 and also enjoyed a car allowance of €25,000 which, along with pension contributions of €56,000, brought her overall package to €306,000.

Kevin's base salary as Content Director Ofcom was £225,750 - €262,699.76 at today's exchange rate.
