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

If they can see your TV from the window beside your front door does it make any difference?
This is not a new article, but I remember the issue back in the day. The Gov and Revenue were big on cracking down on Bogus Self Employment.
Hmmmm.
Government to clampdown on bogus self-employment | Peninsula Ireland (peninsulagrouplimited.com)
Excellent advice...
That story got the same treatment as it was later discovered that the story was AI generated as was the photo of the so called author of the piece. The paper of record was caught out fair and square when this story was published. This leads us to wonder what other pieces published by the Irish Times was fake or very economical with the truth.
If Tubs does go back to his radio show, the atmosphere between him and the rest of the staff will be horrible I'd imagine.
A timely reminder that a TV license inspector has zero authority to enter your home or compel you to engage with them in anyway, no matter what they may tell you.
They have the same power as cold calling salesmen.
Treat them as such and wordlessly close the door in their faces.
An agents commission would normally be in region of 10% of clients earnings. How the feck are NKM earning 53%.
That stinks of another hidden payment to Tubridy.
NK more likely
Don't forget, there was also a 80k admin/management charge on the Barter Account, and who knows what else. No word from RTE on who got that money!
Oh what did they announce in their findings?
A worker is normally an employee if they:
a) are directed by someone on how, when and where to work
b) have set working hours
c) have no personal financial risk relating to the work
d) receive a fixed wage
e) supply labour only
f) cannot subcontract the work
g) are covered under the employer’s insurance
h) work for only one person or business.
Seems to me that Tubridy, Duffy and the rest tick boxes a, b, c, possibly d, definitely e and f and probably h. No idea about g.
RTE have lost all credibility in terms of looking for a cent more from the public.
It is riddled with featherbedding, nepotism and cronyism.
Have our government any power? The arrogance of the RTE chair to not tell the Minster why the Director General of RTE was suspended. Just like when Dee Forbes declined to attend a public accounts committee hearing.
Who wears the trousers, it seems to be RTE.
Best way to solve this issue is to just get rid of anyone who's earnings were understated and who didn't bother to correct the media when their earnings were reported also from now on no more contract workers on RTE. If you present a show on a regular basis i.e weekly or daily you are an employee and that is it, you don't like that then get a job somewhere else.
RTE are funded by the taxpayer therefore they have to have higher standards of behavior than other media in this country.
Why though? According to some on here nothing untoward has happened.
intriguing.
Intriguing update in the IT after Minister Martin's meeting today with RTE Chair. Martin "could not say who signed off on the hidden payments and she had not been told by RTÉ chairwoman Siún Ní Raghallaigh why outgoing director general Dee Forbes had been suspended on Wednesday."
Beginning to look like we might get to see the girls going at it in public! Dare we dream of a cage fight between Dee "Hidden Payments" Forbes and Moya "No Audit Committee Required" Doherty :-)
I suppose there's even less to see now?
The government is suspending its review of future funding until this is all sorted.
Am I??!?
What a plot twist that would be
Picking on the poor man when he's struggling to survive on half a mil a year between declared and undeclared earnings. 😔
They should simply let some €35k a year Staffer and a recent Youth Reach recruit from SVDP man the message drop-board on his shows until he gets enough of it.
As a Radio Forum watcher for about 15 years here I'm not surprised by the posters defending him or down playing it. Ye know who you are. It's pathetic.
Good work Buttersuki.
You are Dee Forbes though
Because the media and social media are meanies
I'd imagine they have their legal team reviewing his contract for an out clause.
If rte want rid I wonder will it cost us a few bob seen as he hasn't done anything wrong
Point has more than likely made a number of times already on this thread but expose is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
How many other RTE 'Stars' are being paid backhanders?
And what would they be doing do you think?
To be fair that poster has used profanity and suggested I'm drunk so maybe you are right
Time for mods to step in here l think.
My ridiculous examples? All of these things have been posted on this thread, maybe the gardai investigation was on paddy Cosgraves twitter I mix the two up
In your opinion…which is the minority
