Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

I don't see Ryan Tuberdy getting out of this to handy. Egg on chin.
You'd swear he was a killer with the rage of some 😆
Well perhaps if you read my post you’d see I started by saying this topic has been covered in detail by myself many times previously and I have neither the time nor the inclination to spend further time providing links to the various revenue.ie and other sites to show you where this information lies. If you’re too lazy to look it up, that’s on you.
Are you suggesting I’m lying with the examples I gave? I assure you I’m not. I’m not making wild accusations or leveling falsehoods. The information is there if you need evidence of same. But I’m not your man-servant, sorry.
Nice attempt at deflection though.
It's not really. Plenty being directed at Tubridy. I don't think any blame should be laid at his door. It's RTE at fault here.
And not to have the foresight to assess the impact of this coming to light versus the sums involved.
Short term greed.
Very real possibility this will impact Tubridys future career, and may already have done if a factor in LLS exit.
Proves the suspicions other have here about the timing of DF and RT departures.
I can't wait for the in-depth RTE Prime Time special on this scandal and attempt to hoodwink the public.
I'm sure it will be on any day now.
The TV licence has to go and RTE can earn their way instead of fleecing the taxpayer.
They then can pay this useless cretin any way they want with their own money.
What about Tubridy's agent, Noel Kelly Management? They knew exactly his actual income because it was paid to them by RTE.
Did nobody question how his published RTE earnings was below his actual earnings?
Complete transparency now immediately required.
This makes the whole unpaid tv licenses and extra funding RTE is looking for all a bit suspect - how many more “stars” got paid like this?
Revenue.
I lost my **** early this year.. Ive had enough of state biased news, unplugged the TV and heaved it into a skip.
They can still fine you for having a satellite dish.
It's long known that RTE squanders money. And then they have the cheek to ask for an increase on the licence fee.
2 presenters for Prime Time. No idea why. Just one example of a waste of money.
Will Dee Forbes appear on Prime Time tonight?
I mean did they have a transition year student writing the contract?
The advertiser pulled out and they were still liable to pay for his appearances. If it wasn't deliberate it was incompetence. Or maybe they're just not that bothered about where the endless supply of money goes.
Most of the criticism is directed at RTE.
This bascially.
It is a Cabal, it ranks.
Thank god for TG4
Off topic, I'm watching news on rte +1.
The Connolly Youth with video phones at the Security Conference.. The absolute irony, considering how James Connolly lived.
Same here. The source of the money wasn't coming directly from RTE so Tubs wouldn't really have seen it but would be part of the other sources of income he gets from promotions openings etc.
RTE got it wrong.
The real Slim Shady !
Tubs getting paid an extra 345,000. The TV License is 160.
2156 people have to pay their TV license to fund the EXTRA 345000 that Tubs was getting.
Maybe this might spark a debate on the dreaded TV license.
He's complicit in the dishonesty though.
This seems like an incredibly convoluted way to get someone money off the books. Is Ryan suggesting he knew nothing about it and somebody in RTE went on a solo run setting up this scheme out of the goodness of their heart?
But why was it necessary to pay him extra? Very strange he's a mediocre broadcaster.
His last Late Late such vain, ego boosting rubbish.
Pre-covid when I was going into the office everyday, Id listen to morning ireland while getting ready, but the dulcet tones of Tubs was the kick in the arse I needed to leave the flat, because noway was I staying to listen to him. He has always repelled me on several levels. I find him thoroughly insincere, and somehow managed to make the Toy Show all about him and regularly subtley took the piss out of some of the kids.
What I dont understand is the need for secrecy.
The wit of many posters here far surpasses the drivel that most of those in high office at RTE manage to impart.
I was never that anti Tubridy but by God all his sermons and lectures are coming back to me... one seriously 2 faced bol*ix.
Poor oul Fr. Ted only had the one! I'd say some of our public figures can't remember which of their accounts it's resting in.
I find it hilarious actually all the Tubridy haters lining up at the opportunity to stick the knife in 😆
If you've a problem with this RTE should be where the blame is laid.
Do you think his agent/accountant accepted the revised pay offer including the undisclosed top up without talking to him first?
At the very least he had to be aware there was deceit involved and he was willing to publicly accept a lower wage than he was actually getting.
