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

I think we have to protect all parties in this fiasco.
we’ve had a public hearing and the NUJ had their moment in the sun today and wasted the opportunity and just b1tched that the remote controls in the news room were not working.
talk about whingeing.
this evening we should think about doing the right thing and draw a line in the sand and forget this sorry mess and give Mr Callan the next few days off and reinstate RT.
"A car" - not the car or any particular car. How else would you determine the running cost of a car for the purpose of setting civil service rates. There have to be assumptions. if one of the assumptions is that a car needs changing at 3 years old, then I would question that assumption.
Dee thrown under the bus, NK looks like a money grabber, Ryan totally innocent ...
Does Forbes leave with a pension?
Yeah, they're trying to lay it all on DF. A hard attempt at trying to give Tubridy (and thus NK a greedy pass - nothing illegal here).
But, going on the reaction of the employees, this is a culture they're sick of and want destroyed.
Yeah, no current employee is answerable for this mess.
As expected, the statement confirms Ryan is totally innocent.
I am looking forward to hearing Ryan tomorrow morning on the radio.
I think we have a scapegoat.
From the report:
No member of the RTÉ Executive Board, other than the Director General, had all the necessary information in order to understand that the publicly declared figures for Ryan Tubridy could have been wrong.
That statement is a very poor attempt to justify why the RTE management should get the lifeboats while RTE sinks much like the Titanic. The staff are like those in steerage locked in with paycuts, bogus self-employment and zero hour contracts.
Regards...jmcc
The rest of the board must have been asleep at the wheels of Ryan's bus that go round and round.
Just barely catching up on the day's news. Dee Forbes too ill to attend the investigation 🤣🤣
Meanwhile Kerry v Tyrone and another All Ireland quarter final are on GAA GO Saturday, which she partly owns. You couldn't make it up.
Forbes pushed under the bus.
As we expected to be honest. Everything above board and all current senior staff entirely innocent. Lol.
I said days ago the Grant THornton report would be a fluff report, guess what it is? a fluff report
This is RTE getting their mates to cover up. Stinks of HSE all over again
Yes
🤣🤣🤣 Good joke.
D'Arcy said he doesn't have an agent and on 250k as published.
Which means they are incompetent and should be fired or leave
Especially the CFO
How does the CFO not know what is going on?
Shocking statement . If anything it’s after raising more questions.
Id be willing to give an ear to a potential oversight but this practice went on before DF was even an rte employee.
others knew - the money was transferred to another account - I doubt DF put the IBAN into RTEs bank account.
Im not happy with this at all at all.
Zero accountability as usual. **** me Forbes must have made some enemies in the kip for them to do that to her.
You've somehow derived that whereas I simply stated that she would be smarter keeping her head down, as all of us would in that situation.
What's the point of this board if they didn't know about it. They should be replaced as they aren't up to the job.
No comment yet from Noel Kelly.
How much of Gaago does she own?
I think she doesn’t own any of it.
Nothing more to see here.
We have had full transparency and 100% accountability.
Ryan is innocent.
i plead with everyone to please stop the witch hunt and let bygones be bygones.
tomorrow is a new day - let’s continue as if this little distraction never happened.
Not surprised by that bit of the statement. Yes passing the buck on to the now ex DG. Personally I think the board are covering their asses and Tubs.
I actually have some empathy for forbes after that comedy statement from RTE. Id love her to really give her account of things. This could get dirtier very quickly.
Very easily found online but i noted they didnt name the commercial director etc. **** parasites all of them.
Good man Ryan. A pile of extra money in your pocket and you are totally innocent in getting whilst your low paid colleagues were getting shafted. Sad.
She was on the board of that money grab. Has just resigned I see.
I an see this getting legal...and then all reporting on it will stop......and then it will just fizzle out....
6 Ones News just reading the report.....trying to make out its very detailed.....
Consultancy fee's
Cover up by a lot of people
Smarter? Her non appearance implies guilt and indicates cowardice on a supposedly talented intelligent person.
