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

I don't know why we call it silly season anymore in Ireland, it really should be scalp season. The previous two summers iirc had golfgate and zapponegate. Summer is a dangerous time - the lack of other news forces the cycle to latch onto any story that it can and push it hard to fill time and inches.
Ciara Doherty confirms on Virgin Media that she is also represented by Noel Kelly.
Is there no other agent in Ireland?
But plenty other broadcasters are currently talking about the serious issues that effect the day to day situations of the vast majority of our population, a lot of them do these broadcasts with the same sort of poor low audio fidelity you are complaining about. And they are becoming increasingly popular. Poor audio fidelity matters nothing if the actual words & events coming out the presenters mouth actually resonate with the audience. Some of them do it without any audio at all. This is the current and previous hierarchy of RTE's main problem, it is so far removed from the taxpaying audience, the ordinary people, the majority and their legitimate concerns that RTE have literally walked themselves into this total absolute $hitstorm themselves. And it is hilarious.
Ciara Doherty now on Virgin Media saying that it should be noted she is in the NK stable.
Your post, where you said that something very important was decided, made it sound like your NUJ meeting actively decided that you would somehow block or blacklist Turbidly’s future media career.
Do you really mean that the NUJ people you spoke to are of the opinion that his future media career is untenable? As in, this is an analysis rather than an action?
I’m just looking for clarity, because these are two very different things, and your wording is somewhat ambiguous.
And yet he jumped ship to join RTÉ when he got the chance.
Regardless of whatever is going join RTE, having a tv without a licence is still against the law and they will easily be caught

Yep it's the best silly season in a long time
Probably already said,but many will boycott the license fee over this.
Where is PK gone ? Yeats back on newwstalk, something rotten in denmark
Unvouched expenses...plenty of it out there from experience. Stay with a relative up the country, claim the subsistence...misery of the highest order. Granted not everyone does it however plenty do.
more PR over here.
There are only 4 audit companies available to RTE.
Keep it up.
Usually things quiten down news wise as you come to mid summer. Last week alone we've had, Michael D on Neutrality, that Conference, the Titanic Sub, Tubridy payments, the Wagner Russian military revolt.
It's not and this was mentioned after our meeting, not during our meeting. We all agreed there is no way back for him now.
They miss nothing.
i know the game very well.
it is what they report on that counts, all the rest is arse covering.
They were afraid to challenge the board on the disclosure, for whatever reason, but most likely not wanting to upset the applecart.
They want to retain their big fat fee and all those RTE perks......
I know Tubridy is the villain du jour but that doesn't mean everybody has to slaughter him in comparison with every other broadcaster alive.
Which local authority?
That's not subsistence, btw, which is what I was asking about.
I don’t think it’s up to the NUJ to decide Tubridys future.
Why do they even need to go legal - they're getting millions from the public, every penny should be accounted for and books readily available when requested
Back from my NUJ branch meeting. The consensus is we don't know what the future of RTE is, and we sent our best wishes to the RTE NUJ members who will be having a protest at lunch time tomorrow. We did all agree on one very important thing RT is toast and he won't have a media career again in Ireland or anywhere else in the world.
When Willie O'Reilly was head of Today FM, he said he never had any difficulties beating RTE salaries to lure talent away.
Yes I agree. He's not what he was and often over emotional. Would you have a link to the podcast? Thanks.
EY are the current consultants of choice to the HSE, it is a small world we live in!
Agreed. I like her..
I know of a Local Authority who pays travel expenses to councilors who attended meetings on line.
Agreed. It's so much better to listen to some uncharismatic, smug, mediocre fakelord, that's being paid half a million a year by the taxpayer, to talk absolute scutterwollix every weekday morning for an hour
I'd prefer that than fake 'Be Kind' tbh. I'd say that might be her professional veneer and she'd be sound with family and friends.
I'm a bit tired of celebs doing great work for charidee.
Maybe he could have done some work so that essential services aren't dependant on a few crumbs dropped off the big table.
Comes across aloof, albeit it’s kind of unassuming/professional.
