The Weekend On One With Brendan O'Connor

You really would think that someone would've told him - 'Don't worry Brendan, if we get sued, the disgusting peasants pick up the tab'

For a guy that gets paid the equivalent of an annual salary of €3.1m, you'd think he'd have worked that one out for himself

I think I'll just let this hang there - BOC on the equivalent of €3.1 million per year

ya, ya, c'mere, listen - I'm totally worth it

250k pa (published fig) for 4 hrs pw for c.40 weeks pa is approx 1,500 per hour (it's closer to 1,550 ph*)

1,500 ph x 40 hrs = €60k pw - 60k x 52 weeks = €3,120,000

I think that would make him the highest paid presenter in RTE on a per hour rate. Of course Noel would take about €50k of that every year for 'services rendered'

In reality, @ €1,550 per hour* x 40 hrs pw = €62k pw x 52 weeks = €3,224,000 pa

You might well be right re Duffy - I found it difficult to gauge his profane hourly fees due to the extra TV stuff he does - RTE should be required to publish the hours worked

I can't prove definitively that NK is BOC's agent, but I'd put the house on it - The very fact that someone as annoying as Brendan gets that slot on those fees, can only mean Kelly. Brendan is also very fond of having lots of team NK people on the show - which is another giveaway imo

ya,ya,ya, c'mere listen - I said he was on the equivalent of €3m if he were to work in a 9-5 job and I'm sticking with he is NK - we'll have to disagree on that one

A woman wrote a book. Boards just gets a brief mention, at the end of this clip.

Sounds like an interesting read.
