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

So you don’t know she was going financially from it, and you now also know that she doesn’t own any of it, as previously claimed.
Every day is a school day.
The whole place seems so dysfunctional and clearly morale was through the floor even before this.
What are you scuttering on about now?
It's not "all over" by a long shot.
Something seriously suspect between NK, RT and DF and how those payments were made. Why the hell was it sp cloak and dagger and hush hush? What were they hiding? Who was gaining what.
Bitching?
cmere mate when there’s a fella making €300+k more than he was due to make and you’ve got our national news broadcaster without fully functioning equipment it’s a fcuking problem.
When you're on a board you generally get paid for it when it's a commercial entity.
Serious allegation, I think you take your self appointed role as cross examiner a bit seriously 😅
This gives an insight into one reason the staff are so unhappy and chomping at the bit to speak up.
So, it’s all over. We can all stop pretending we give a fiddlers..😛..
one good thing we don’t have to listen to Tubridy’s banal ramblings on the radio anymore.
always a silver lining… onwards and upwards for the next “scandal.”
How was she financially gaining from it?
Do you know something the rest of us don’t?
Fairly serious allegation there.
I was joking
Though I thought I was the most vocal :(
And Dee Forbes was all about getting rid of those Silos, that was her big thing back in the day.
Are you brand new to this thread or something?
I've without question been the most vocal person this thread on this subject and I've been unequivocal in my condemnation of all parties involved....so much so that we had one poster re-reg and call openly and via PMs to mods to have me removed from the thread, not to mention all of the other underhand "shenanigans" I've had to put up with for my positions on Forbes, Tubridy, Kelly, and RTE. And none of this is new to me, I've been posting about all of the above for years.
If you're trying to suggest I'm defending Forbes or O'Leary in the above 2 quoted posts, you couldn't be more wrong.
Yep and of every party he can at least say he did what he was told - not up to him to know how RT was being paid - he looks like he was doing the best for his client! Id love for him to come out and tell us what actually is going on and id say he is our only chance of that in the short term.
RTE are leaving out detail on these facilitation fees - you don’t get 80k on a single transaction without doing something really dodgy - a high price for what exactly? What was the deal?
I just don't get sarcasm it the lowest form of wit 🤣 <<<<<< 'tis the sign of a bad joke I tell you
Just to be clear I was joking also.
RTE pays the presenter a very high wage, presenter gets paid by an independent production company, RTE buys the show.
Effectively, they're paying the presenter a salary and a top up. Surely they could have used this information when they were so desperate to cut salaries?
AFAIK know RTÉ ask for presenter wages or estimates of wages for talent when they commission a series, RTÉ need to know how much is spend on the production and how much is going to talent and producers.
He knew exactly what he was been paid and knew how the payments got made etc
The only issue is he is caught out now and it looks bad for him so its a cover up job
He won't like been called the "toy w**ker" in the shops is the problem with him
Sorry but I’m rooting for Dee Forbes to come out fighting now and show us all how incompetent the entire higher management and board of RTE are. She has nothing to lose anymore
RTE is not fit for purpose anymore and the best thing for the normal, hardworking employees would be for the upper echelons to fook right off.
Like the mythical coke (quite apt analogy for RTE!) recipe, loads of people know a few parts, but only a handful know all the parts.
However like the coke recipe, that's clearly a myth. If the senior management team are operating in silos and secrecy how on earth can rte be managed effectively.
Even if Dee Forbes was a micromanaging bad delagater it in no way exhonorates Ryan Tubridy.
Or explains the interaction between him, Kelly and Forbes in getting these extra payments.
The unions will get answers. Members are hopping mad.
What on earth are you on about?
I'm clearly mocking the RTÉ statement. I’m not defending O’Leary in any way and I was mocking Forbes “illness” in my earlier post. The 🙄 was meant sarcastically. I do not believe she’s ill.
I think most people are like or have some idea what the it should be within reason.
However, you've to remember your dealing with a whole different class of person here.
Yep, if it was above board and inline with contractual obligations why was the money transferred through the relevant RTE account? Why did they use a UK barter account that cost tens of thousands more?
Would RTE have sight of what independent productions pay their presenters? I would have presumed RTE just buy the show as a package and wouldn't be privy to the internal workings.
RTE want to keep Tubridy happy and willing to come back to work with them so this is a cover up
They expect the fluff will mean the population will welcome him back!!!
She was a driving force behind another money grabbing exercise. It's all a bit much. She was financially gaining from it.
Ah so now your her solicitor I know something was up with boards. 😂
