Around 200 employees at RTÉ joined a protest organised by the National Union of Journalists to air their frustration following revelations of undisclosed payments to Ryan Tubridy.
There was widespread calls for clarity as staff described their anger and sadness over what has happened and they called on management to give answers and highlighted the need also for accountability.
Those who attended included staff members across the organisation from researchers to those working in technology, and the make-up department. A large cohort of NUJ and SIPTU members were in attendance.
Chair of the NUJ's Dublin broadcasting branch Emma O Kelly addressed the crowd and described the situation as unbelievable.
She said while they welcome an external review she added that they already know the culture of the organisation and have been at the receiving end of it for "too long".
"And when I say the receiving end, I don’t mean the end of all the money. Not that receiving end."
She also highlighted what she said the lack of resources available across the organisation.
A number of other union officials and RTÉ staff members also addressed the crowd.
The protest ended with a chant of "what do we want?" with the crowd replying: "Answers".
RTÉ staff across the regions also took part in today's demonstrations, calling for transparency and answers from senior management at the organisation.
Staff working at offices in Cork, at the RTÉ Lyric FM office in Limerick, as well as staff at Dundalk, Galway, Waterford, Athlone, Belfast and Donegal demonstrated to express their anger and disappointment and concern at the information which emerged over the past five days which has plunged the broadcaster into crisis.
