Miriam continued that she has no problem with people knowing about her €280,445 salary, because she does what she loves.
“I was reading all the details recently on the BBC and how they are very protective of their presenters and hold back on their incomes.
“I didn’t ever go into it for anything other than the fact I wanted to be a journalist.
“We live in Ireland, it’s a tiny country and I do a job I love,” she added.
