Ryan Tubridy left RTÉ in 2023 amid a payments controversy that prompted inquiries from Oireachtas committees. Initially set to return to radio, negotiations for his return fell through. In a podcast interview, he noted the lack of effective communication as a key issue leading to the fallout. Despite the negative experience, he has received warmth from the public and feels positively transformed, becoming more relaxed and unconcerned about others' opinions since his departure.
Tubridy stated, "I think communication was the greatest fatality in what happened. I think with better communication, better analysis and better decision-making all round, we would have had, probably, a happier outcome."
He expressed that since leaving RTÉ, he has become a more relaxed person, saying, "I care less about what people think. I'm a different person."
