three.ie etc block adult content unless you provide proof of age

It'd be easy to block RTE, RTE player etc unless you want to register with rte to be billed ~ €160 per year

BulldozeMontrose

Almost like how Netflix run their business



RTE, on the other hand, would never, ever, under any circumstances go along with something like that as it would kill them over night because no one in their right mind would pay €160 for the service RTE provide if they had a choice to opt out.

Must go off to the three.ie forum and ask can they block rte.ie and all subdomains of the banal sh!te

That Dee Forbes fcuking d1ckhead can fcuk right off.

Fcuking ****.

Have to agree there Chewie.

Nobody with normal intelligence can understand this.

It’s a mystery.

Nicky Byrne on 200,000 a year. Grinds my gears. Hes got such a punchable face too.

Seriously? F***ing seriously? Jaysus what the hell!

The only way that money makes sense is if he is threatening to do "walk-ons" to every RTE TV and radio show and they need to bribe him to stay in his corner!

Had the misfortune to meet him in person a while back. He's as much a twat in real life as he is on the radio.

It's not even the salaries that bother me. It's their sense of entitlement to them. Like if I don't pay my license I'm basically robbing them.

Was at a wedding a couple of years ago where he was a guest, he didn’t bother going to the church service as he was afraid he’d be mobbed! By whom?

Doesn't even take the co-presenter he needs to hold his hand and do everything for him into account, nor probably the extra production staff/makeup for his ego.

It's unforgivable, but still not as bad as the Lottie Ryan situation.

14 year old transition year students would have been better than her, and have done the job for free.

Yep. And any time you see an RTE presenter as a 'guest' at some gala or whatever-where they are asked or answer questions-they get paid €3000 to €6000 just for a one day appearance. You can get a decent secondhand car for that much.

Ryan has a job for life. She'll fart around the odd TV show and then get her own shat show.

Yes and no-she's on such a low list of 'jobs' that she's probably somewhere behind Mairead Ronan Farrell Nahasapeemapetilan's hairdresser in terms of getting a job. Case in point, Mairead won't be presenting Ireland's Fittest Family this year (yeah, who cares. Amirite?) so Kathryn Thomas will be doing it instead. Ryan wasn't even considered for the job.

There are a ton of past and present RTE presenters who can't get arrested now. Brian Ormond and Liam McCormack, Geri Maye, Molly Breatnach, John Moynes, to name a few. They all have more of a chance to be called up by RTE to present a show than Lottie.

What most ticks me off with Nicky Byrne is that his co-presenter, Jenny Greene, worked her way up to, deservedly, get his job. Instead, she's treated as a 'sideline' gig. And that is so insulting to any outsider looking on.

Those three fools shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as him nevermind being payed more than him, tubby ruined the late late show, Darcy is an over payed douche and don't get me started on that live line clown!

The Late Late is just a grave now...it's more dated than when it started in the 60s. That's just clownish.
