RTÃ presenter Ray DâArcy is to leave the broadcaster, it said on Thursday.
After 11 years, he presented his final show on Wednesday.
Mr DâArcy has presented a midweek programme, The Ray DâArcy Show, on RTÃ Radio 1 since February 2015.
He also briefly presented a Saturday night chatshow on RTÃ 1, also called The Ray DâArcy Show, from 2015 to 2019.
Before moving back to RTÃ, he presented a midweek show on Today FM for 14 years.
Mr DâArcy was the second-highest paid individual at RTà in 2019 â behind Ryan Tubridy â but saw his salary drop from â¬450,000 that year to â¬305,000 in 2020 and 2021, after his Saturday night chatshow came to an end.
In 2022 and 2023, he was paid â¬250,000.
In 2023, RTÃâs Director General Kevin Bakhurst brought in pay caps and announced that no one at the broadcaster would earn more than him.
In December 2014, Mr DâArcy announced he was leaving Today FM to move back to RTÃ where he had worked earlier in his career including as a presenter on childrenâs TV show The Den.
Speaking at the time, he said he was âreally looking forwardâ to rejoining the team at RTÃ.
âIâm excited about the upcoming challenges in both radio and television. To be honest, it feels a little bit like coming home.â
