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

None of us really know for sure but do you believe she has a health issue?
Dee forbes and the mental health card is a joke. Also her link to gaago needs to be looked into.
The likes of dee forbes getting paid massive amounts is because they are meant to have the skills to work under pressure and guide the company through difficult periods. Clearly shes unqualified so if shes crying off sick. She is typical of a small minority in the corporate world who can talk the talk getting promotions but is solid useless at the back of it all. Every large organisation has 1 or 2 of them
How do you know this?
Your so harsh! what are you a doctor :)
She should have just said she's not attending.
She has no health issue whatsoever.
Wouldn't be surprised, but his carefully crafted (and utterly false) image is ruined though. "We're all in this together" Captain Kindness turned out to be Ray Liotta in Goodfellas (f*ck you; pay me!).
This is the problem isn't it? All these people like Dee Forbes and others all like to get the big pay packets but want none of the accountability or responsibility. It's why I think it should be written into every single contract for folks in positions like Dee Forbes, Secrectary Generals, heads of government departments that they could be asked to attend an Oireacthas committee up to 6 months after they leave and that would be extended if they pulled the sick note out as well.
She was employed to make these decisions, this is her job. She should explain herself. If as you say it is mental health issues, she should take a break and when ready should come before the Oirechtas, if it is a physical illness, hopefully it is not serious, and hopefully she will recover she can go to the oirechtas, however if it is a case that she will not go to the Oireachtas she should say that.
3.30 and still no board statement.
Wouldn't that be indentured servitude? I don't think you can force someone to work who isn't willing. You can and should stop paying them but you cant literally force someone to work.
He won't properly resign and head off into the sunset. At most is that he will take a break with an eye to a comeback in a year or two.
Ok, if you say so.
Except I think you’ll find you can’t. Unless you want to end up in the Labour Court of course.
Where did ya see this? Still waiting on this board statement.
Perhaps it will be accompanied with resignations.
Committees have to be careful, they dont want a repeat of what happened with Angela Kerins from Rehab on their hands.....
Agreed. If all that happened was that the figure declared to the Government was mis-stated, she could waffle that away.
This runs deep relating to the governance and how payments and contracts were authorized.
And how Tubridy's contract came to be guaranteed.
You certainly can!
edit: that is you can certainly not accept an immediate resignation without any notice period.
its more likely of course that whoever she answered to insofar as resigning agreed to waive their notice period given the circumstances.
One TD wants Dee Forbes to be arrested.
Could they not have just left her on suspension?
Again, no idea how you think I am saying see should not be held accountable.
Maybe in you haste to ram your points across you're just not seeing clearly
I imagine she could still not attend citing health reasons.
The very fact she & RT have chosen to try weasel out of it tells me whatever was done was majorly corrupt. I had thought RT’s involvement in hiding the whole thing to be minor but I think it was more likely both their ideas or something like that.
comes across a lot like a collaborative effort anyway with both choosing to keep more or less radio silent with scarce more than vague statements that don’t really address the issue, beyond I guess pointing out how very silly it all was really, but you know we are very sorry.
Then notice period should kick in. A role at this level should have significant notice period.
You can’t reject a resignation letter. You can’t force her to come to work.
Absolutely mad that her partner can think it ok to tell a journalist to **** off, when Dee was the DG of the largest news organisation in the country.
They are still paid thought and I hope they paid them selves for negotiating the fee as well as the content fee, if I was an expert in construction I'd much rather be with an agent who sorts the money side while I concentrated on what I'm good at, I'd do my homework first thought and thoughrely check contracts and agency fees.
Why wasn't her resignation rejected and leave her in the role to answer the questions?
The Godfather won't want him to resign. Tubridy won't get that kind of money anywhere else. Ever.
Ah I hope not. It would be far more entertaining if the tone deaf hoor doubles down.
..
I will volunteer to facilitate this transaction for the standard fee of €80,000.
