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

Or an invoice from Ryan
I dont think collapse but government could restructure it into two entities, a fully license fee funded state news service subject to civil service pay scales and a commercial entertainment entity that would need to compete for public funding of projects.
Some good come from it.
Yes, 11.05% employers PRSI and pension contributions. But very simple to offer a salary of €200k instead of the outrageous contracts payments.
They think we’re all **** idiots and that we would think they’d done something constructive
Will he retain the kids toyman affection. Or will the likes of Adam, with the virtual hug, look back differently on his time promoting brand Tubridy when he grows up.
They should also refuse to deal with or pay agents. That's the other scandalous part, they paid NKM for this under the counter deal.
Renault wouldn't want their brand sullied by having a Lexus driver represent them.
Do RTÉ provide a list of all the “contractors” they engage the services of?
Yeah. They should not have suspended her, to keep the rabble happy.
The whole GAAGO fiasco was swept away too quickly too. It hasn't been fully explored yet. Dee Forbes again involved. McBennett. The whole thing stinks to high heaven.
Blame the accountant.. that is always a good excuse
But he didn't notice the extra €345,000 in his account. He has his mind on other higher matters you understand. 😉
Notice how surprised and outraged he was when he was informed about it. Similarly the RTE staff were "shocked, dismayed and angry", so they certainly didn't know anything about it either.
The woman is on annual leave and will not be returning afterwards as she has a leaving date of 10th July.
Riddle me this….what exactly are they suspending her from doing?
And RTE wouldn't renew "The Den" one of the best and funniest things to come out of the pandemic. Dustin would go to town on the shower of them in RTE now. That's why RTE really cancelled Dustin he was too close to the bone for them and was giving everyone a good laugh
I run to turn off the radio after the 9.00am news. He makes me nauseous.
😆 😆
They needed to throw someone to the wolves…….they should have announced it yesterday and it wouldn’t look so self serving.
First of many hopefully
...
Sounds absolute whitewash. The only thing I can think of is there might be an "end of tenure" lump sum, a pension contribution, or something like that payable to her, which might be withheld pending....
On another note, I may be wrong, but I would have thought that the so called "stars" would engage the agent and pay them for every gig they get for them. What role would RTE have here other than contacting the agent looking for someone for X Y or Z.
Open to correction and education here!
I’ve edited the rumour from the post. I brought it up because someone asked about it.
All the lies you told me..............
Not really. A general idea yes but much is left up to professionals. I'm sure Tubs has people for all that.
Wouldn't you feel like some mug walking into a post office today, to hand over a €160 licence fee.
The goings on make the time RTE bid €12 million for 49% of Maximum Media (Joe.ie) look sensible...
Latterly Dustin was given a hymn sheet to sing from.
You sure would!
I wonder will he still keep in contact with Michael Bubble and his other 'friends'. He has so many links with people like Charlie Bird etc, I'm sure some won't be too keen to keep in contact.
Ah the wisdom, leave it to professionals… so trusting.. just like uncle Gaybo (a hard act to follow as a broadcaster) and Russell Murphy
I don't get the Joe Duffy concept at all. Someone paid very highly by RTE to listen to sob stories. He made money out of 'bukes' like The Chilldren of the Troubles and The Children of 1916. He's not a historian and it was easy money and fake sadness for the childer. In what country in the world would an agony aunt be constantly in the top national broadcaster earners.
