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

Why Terri Prone?
Miriam speaking in her "someone has died voice".
When I think of all the Charity Appeals on the LLS. Oh lord.
Good egg on chin.
Well, you can't say they aren't talking about it.
Prime Time going at it. Shane Ross being pretty frank.
Its BS for Tubridy to argue its not his fault and nothing to do with him. He's 50% to blame in this.
He should be suspended asap and return the money or be fired.
Terry Prone v good
Oh dear, Tubs getting booted by Prone.
Is this the end?
Member of the FF gene pool for whom money like this is easily explained. He is ENTITLED to it as a descendent of all that is good and mighty in this country. Experienced in Greek and Latin, so Wiki tells me, and so was Boris Johnson.
This is a huge story and I'd expect more to come out. He'll have to issue a few more statements yet. I think it's 50/50 if he'll come back to RTE tbh.
Best Prime Time ever!!!
Can't get past Miriam's day-glow teeth.
Well as someone else suggested he could donate this "sponsorship" money that did not really come from the sponsor.
It would be a good start to the Toy Show appeal total this year, although I rather have a break from the LLS links, as someone is probably making a fortune (I mean admin free) from that also!!
0818 715 815 will be plugged out of the socket for the next while lol
Miriam vocally agreeing with the point on questioning whether other presenters got a deal like this.
All that standing on tv during covid, waffling on about donations. Going on about how everyone was in this together. All while he was taking money under the counter so it wasn't shown up
Never liked the guy, maybe RTE will stop covering up all the stories that are well known about him and the company he keeps.
Pretty good in fairness.
At least someone was calling out Tubs and NK on prime time
Between this and the oceangate saga, it's nice to have some COVID/Ukraine/migrants/racism free news stories again. We've had years of fatigue news
Oh do tell...
Jayzus, seems RTE are treating this lad as if he's on par with Lex Luther. I'd say there's a lot more to come out.
There's more of a chance I'll be presenting this gadges former radio show than he will
Director General not available.
What stories?
RTE staff all took pay cuts during covid didn't they, all while Tubs was taking payments
I am sure they are all very very pi**ed.....
Tubs has screwed them all over, along with their management
Don't think there is any return from this for Tubs.
How can he preach on anything ever again or hold anyone to account which is fairly central to his role. His credibilty is in tatters.
Miriam's agent: 'Great time to put the boot into Kelly Mir...you go girl'
I don’t normally watch Prime Time, but I enjoyed that filleting of Captain Kindness.
It's really just down to RTE doing some creative accounting.
I doubt he'll be having a pint in Finnegans tonight.
I’m no fan of Terry Prone but fock me I didn’t expect even her to thrown the boot in. That’s not a good sign.
I think this may well be the end of Tubridys broadcasting career in Ireland. The reputational damage will be severe. Among his RTE colleagues who were forced to swallow pay cuts his stock will be very low, let alone the general public who finance RTE. His statement today was attempting to shove the blame to RTE, but he can’t whitewash his role in this
