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

Check marks on their arses, say what now?
It's a transaction that has clearly been purposely designed to enable RTE to publically present a reduction in a presenter's salary when in fact none has taken place. The phrase 'I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole' doesn't even begin to describe it.
LOL. If you can't see what's wrong with RTE underwriting a third party agreement and paying for it with public money, and then hiding that payment from their own board and finance department, and knowingly misrepresenting monies paid to the man publicly for over half a decade then there really is no point in trying to explain it to you.
Have to dash, but will return later.
RTE is at fault I agree.
in what respect you wouldn't touch it with a bargepole? it's a commercial arrangement,perhaps RTE's motivation was as you say, but while it's smoke and mirrors its not illegal.
Ah come on,if you believe that, you probably believe in the man with the red suit and the tooth fairy as well,
There's nothing to prove otherwise. I don't know why some on this site are so viscously anti Tubridy and it's not a new thing.
Would he have noticed if a private source was paying him less than he expected to get over the years? Also I thought RTE took over paying for it after the first year. He must be making huge amounts from these other sources not to have noticed.
Nonsense. Just call a spade a spade - he was having his RTE fees topped up on the QT, whilst pretending he'd taken a cut.
There's no stomach for that sort of public hypocrisy, either with the public or from RTE staff.
As I posted earlier, they have been known to do Haughey together. This is well known in radio and media circles.
What’s Haughey?
Ah yes nothing to see here - just a misappropriation of 350k euro most of which came directly from you and the rest of the general public.
All the while RTE have been the ones on a witch hunt over their TV lisence under subscription or whatever the hell they call it. Don’t forget the Truth matters adverts also - it sure does.
If I'm home in the morning and have the radio on. I listen to morning Ireland and then turn over to pat Kenny.
Can't abide Tubs
It was an RTE statement not his. Another source of income how did he know the arrangement?
What does that even mean?
Why are you talking nonsense?
Think about it slowly. What does Haughey mean to you?
It's not nonsense if you think about it logically.
A former Taoiseach. I genuinely haven’t a clue what doing Haughey together means. Is it a euphemism or something?
The first year it came from a private source. They pulled out and the additional payments were guaranteed by RTE.
If you were generous you might say it was incompetence by RTE to come up with such a deal,but surely they must be well used to this kind of stuff.
Definitely kept it quite anyway.
Why were they using a barter account in 2022 when there was nothing to barter in 2021 and 2022 🤔
Sounds like the payment to Tubridy is the only thing sitting there, without an invoice to clear it.
This is very peculiar.
That barter account needs to be audited from its inception and perhaps there are other skeletons.
..
Why are you talking in riddles?
He might be a couple of feet short of an acre.
Thank you, somebody that gets it.
Here you go.
Is he on the radio today?
Oliver called in to take the reins. I guess he might be offered a run at it as he’s very well able to handle the format.
We have a massive amount of chancers in this country in all walks of life. The taxpayer ends up being screwed from every direction.
I can only conclude you're a bad egg ButtersSuki.
A lot of the Tubs defenders very quiet or flailing badly on here today.
Would be very surprised if this, fairly sketchy, Twitter rumour has any truth to it.
Is coke that good for keeping one slim? He really doesn’t seem like the type to bother with any of that.
