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

He was paid by the commercial partner, not RTE.
Even if he did know RTE were then issuing the commercial partner with a credit note, it wasn't his decision but RTE's, so their fault.
Yes.
Shergar and JFK will be the interviewers.
This article is a hoot and signifies everything about him. Giving it the large one about taking a paycut at St Vincent de Paul talk and then calling Facebook "Fakebook". Who is the Fake now? He never did take that paycut but gave it the large one about doing it.
He hasn't done anything wrong legally, that we know of, but has bee exposed as an absolute fraud of a man.
Theres no need for TV licence review, because will not be paying it now.
The statement from him was awful, he probably realises that now and needs to hide and hope it goes away. Clearly it was a panicked and rushed statement and felt something had to go out and did so without any actual analysis of the what they were saying.
"Like many people, I'm surprised by the announcements made in RTÉ’s statement today regarding the errors in the reporting of its accounts
Surprised by the announcement, but not that it was going on. He's neck deep in this and everyone knows it.
Well as Tubs himself says, that's "bonkers".
I'm guessing you believe Bertie Ahern "won de money on de horses" too?
But they weren't paying him so he must have known full well what the arrangement was
Of course Bertie won the money on the horses. What planet do you live on?
This is hilarious. Tubridy literally becomes a real life Henry Sellers overnight.
And why on earth would RTE do that?
Did he actually do the work for the commercial partner after the first year? Or was he being paid for nothing?
My guess is he’s gone for good, may reappear in an interview in 5 years time where he’ll have a great whitewash plan. I guess he’ll go to USA for an extended holiday. RTE are in a very awkward position re NK and his middle-man operations with other RTE figures. We have seen the top of an iceberg. A great can of worms has been opened. Sometimes on this thread we’ve wondered at the power of one individual to supply RTE with its contract workers, and we’ve prized at the top of that can with sometimes interesting results.
They were.
It's a storm in a teacup. He didn't;t know how it was structured, and it is an internal accounting screw-up.
I think this is homophobic, and honestly we need to move onto discuss more meaningful matters.
Prime Time will give an indication of whether RTE are going to approach this with any great zeal.
Will we get a Katy Perry v GAA GO type commitment to looking out for the licence fee payer, or light touch.
The commercial partner only ever paid for the first year - he knew full well what was going on
Is that you Ryan?
Glad you have money to be giving away to the elite!
You're right. My mistake. Burn him at the stake! 😆
lol
RTE paid the money to him that was supposed to be paid by the commercial partner after the commercial partner pulled out after the first year.
Hard to buy it. It's up their with Bertie's financial stories.
If payments of 50,000 plus euro more than you were officially meant to be paid kept landing in your account you'd notice. And if he didn't notice that raises more questions.
I'll settle for tarred and feathered
At least Henry Sellers managed to secure a job at the BBC.
Tubs didnt even get that far.
Its great to see those overpaid rats in RTE in a bit of bother over this, doubt Tubirdy will be too worried though he probably already has something lined up.
How Tubridy was paid the salary he was is beyond me. He is a talentless ghoul. The Late Late show on his watch was grim Friday night viewing. I was rounded upon when I said to mates it's absolutely depressing and Tubridy is a depressing interviewer. They couldn't believe I was saying that.
Every interview has a question about death or illness or some other morbid line from Tubs. It just seems weird to me how that show is so popular when huge portions of it are around sadness. It hardly makes people feel good to unwind after a stressful week.
Paddy Kielty will hopefully lighten it up significantly.
Excuse you, Sellers made the BBC, what's Tubbles done?! 😁
Not a chance he'll be gone.
He is a lifer. Basically his life revolves around rte. They promote him so hard too, they see him as a major asset.
He'll not walk from such a cushy number. 1hr per day, 5 days per week. Where else would you get a job working 5hrs per week.
He'll be back.
RTE agreed to underwrite an amount to Tubridy if his commercial partner didn't stump up and this eventuality came to pass. That is nuts and I think whoever agreed to the underwrite needs to go pronto if their still there.
Tubridy must be the first person to be swindled by his agent financially and come out up half a million.
Convenient as **** for Dee Forbes to be on holidays and officially finished up 10th July 😂😂😂
