Ryan Tubridy rejects RTÉ's claim he is out of contract as pay controversy deepens

Hosting Inside Politics in Hugh Linehan’s absence, Pat Leahy is joined by Current Affairs Editor of The Irish Times, Arthur Beesley and Professor Jane Suiter from DCU’s School of Communications to discuss where we are now after yesterday’s statement from RTÉ on Ryan Tubridy’s controversial pay deal.
