The video was accompanied by Fleetwood Mac's 1977 track Don't Stop.
Mr Tubridy has been off-air since June 22nd following a scandal regarding the national broadcaster under-declaring his fees.
On Thursday, new RTÉ director-general Kevin Bakhurst announced there were currently no plans for Mr Tubridy to return to his radio show because trust had “broken down” in negotiations.
The announcement followed a dispute which arose in relation to how RTÉ had revised his published earnings for 2020/21.
Mr Tubridy, who was previously RTÉ’s highest-paid presenter, said in a statement that the figures published originally, which were lower and did not include fees for a controversial commercial arrangement, were correct.
Mr Bakhurst said negotiations at the time would have seen Mr Tubridy (50) returning to his radio show and start a new podcast from September.
But the director-general pulled the plug on the talks in response to the contentious statement, saying the presenter was not accepting his portion of blame over the matter.
