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

Why should RTE continuously get the licence fee or the lions share of it? There needs to be reform of public service broadcasting in Ireland. I'd fully support a €150 annual fee for RTE1 TG4, RnaG and RTE Radio 1 - with all available online too. The rest can sink or swim after that. There is too much baggage with RTE and multiple TV stations, multiple radio stations etc... Time is long gone that commercial outfits can't fill the void of what would be left if RTE 2 and 2FM in particular were culled.
So yesterday Tubridy attempted to throw RTE under the bus with a pathetic "It wasnt me, it was them" statement.....today he is apologising to appease the great unwashed......whats the next manufactured statement by NKM going to be??
Tubridy is just Noel Kellys puppet and cash cow......
Stick your apology Tubridy......you are only sorry you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar.....
Tubridy was more than happy to sit back and bask in the RTE deception over his salary.....
He is deluded if he thinks anyone wants him back........
Ryan Tubridys Emoluments
* sounds like something for haemorrhoids
Reading up a little bit on this "barter" system, no where can I find an example of a company stumping up money to supplement a contractors wages in lieu of free goods from the contracting company
Seems RTE are being very liberal with their usage of the word
Barter system = Company A and Company B agree an exchange of goods/service that benefit both companies with no cash outlay
Well, it certainly can't get any worse!
Last sentence is key:
In its statement, the RTÉ board said it has taken steps to ensure there is "no recurrence of these matters," including "bringing the Barter Account within the control of the Finance function."
So basically was he charging RTE twice? once for being Ryan Turbridy and secondly for doing some work for the Late late or doing something for the Turbridy show and splinting the payment that way?
Really Terrible Entertainment
Ryan Tubridy's Extras
Despite all of the evidence that’s in the public domain and more to come, despite his own admission of wrong doing via his car crash statement, here you are still defending him. I hope you’re getting paid to do this.
Some of us have been posting about on this site this for YEARS.
I have clarified numerous times its rte. Its been covered numerous times in the media. Only someone living in a cave could have missed it, or someone trying desperately to deflect.
RTE had two sets of accounts, one for the public, board and possibly auditors. The barter account was separate to this.
This is not my opinion, its been repeatedly covered over the last few days.
With changes coming maybe even Fair City will improve 🤭
Alan Kelly , is calling them all in to Public Accounts next week according to himself ..
I’ve read all the statements.
Where’s your evidence that there were two sets of accounts, and can you clarify if it’s RTE or Tubridy that you are accusing of having two sets of accounts?
I thought the 2 Sharon's were going to explode. Then I thought wonder how much they are getting ??
I think you’ve mixed up where you are pal. This is a **** internet forum. Not what you think it is.
I'd say it's more the new Sinn Fein in him
Ryan has his own company and accountants, he mentioned that in his statement. Is that where people are getting the 2 sets of accounts from?
In his statement, Mr Tubridy said that all his earnings at the broadcaster "have at all times been included in my company's accounts that were prepared by my accountant and filed with the Companies Registration Office and all my taxes are up to date.
I am in agreement with having a licence fee funded broadcaster and I was always broadly in support of the value gotten from paying for the TV licence.
There is a lot of RTE output that I have zero interest in - some of the sports they show, drama series, 2fm, a lot of their lifestyle shows etc... But their remit is for everyone so I was happy enough to be content with their news/current affairs, documentaries, orchestra, Lyric FM etc..
One thing that always bothered me was the fees paid to "talent". But I was willing to bite my tongue.
Not anymore. I cancelled my licence DD today. I hope many more do similar. I don't want wholesale job losses but I want wholesale changes. These ridiculous salaries need to end.
Front runner for the annual Golden Shoehorn award.😁
I am making factual statements that have been repeated ad nausium so stop talking nonsense.
The statement is here. https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/tubridy-apologises-for-not-asking-questions-about-reporting-of-his-earnings-1493292.html
He apologises for an error in judgement and a failure on his part. Ie mistakes.
Your efforts at deflection make me wonder if you have a certain bias or interest in this?
Will this change anything at RTE? not a jot, new faces will come in and do the exact same, they'll be back to whinging about not getting enough largesse from the TV license in a year, the only way is for organised protest against the license to force change, there was such a move against the water charges yet these jokers can stick everyone for 160 a year.
Like most businesses and management these days… they demand the staff follow policies, regulations etc. any oversights, discrepancies or deviations and trouble…
but Tubridy and bosses can be up to this craic and nobody will I suspect at least at the top level will be be forced to take any responsibility….
bad enough in a private organisation but in an organisation funded by public money.
politicians don’t have the stones, the interest or integrity….
Surely the payments were negotiated by Tubridy and or his agent with RTE top brass. It’s totally unbelievable that Tubridy had no knowledge or exactly why they had to be kept secret. He must think we’re idiots ( of course he does) . He’s done nothing illegal , but he has a&€t on his RTE colleagues who had to take cuts to modest wages, from a great height. He really must be motivated by money. I wouldn’t know, but lve often heard the more money you have, the more you want.
What mistake did Tubridy make?
Having a barter system in no way implies that there was two sets of accounts.
You’re making very serious allegations without anything to back them up.
yes you are scum, and you should be banned from public life for ever.
I was just explain the connection that Tubs has to FF.
He referenced the accounting treatment and mistakes made by rte, even though the mistake was his. The accounting treatment was the barter account outside the finance department. The transactions were hidden from the finance dept.
Persons within RTE were responsible, not everyone in RTE as its now emerged. Most were oblivious but now shocked and disgusted.
Imagine if you were asked to take a 10% cut in salary because times are tough and then discover your colleague received a 10% payrise, how would you feel? You'd be thinking was my paycut used to fund my colleagues payrise? And this is exactly how people in RTE must now feel, that they were taking a hit so Tubridys massive salary can be paid or even increased.
Imagine some of the lower and average wage workers who panicked when cost cutting measures were brought in, or who had to take a pay cut?
I'd be fcuking fuming too.
