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

It's the Fair City actors I feel most sorry for..they'll never get a deserved rise or their contracts sorted.
Fair City viewers I feel sorry for!
@skimpydoo would you please look into RT’s relationship with these charities? I think Sorolla is hinting at something cos they won’t stop listing them!
Thats the first thing that I have agreed with walshb on this whole thread.....
Which makes it even more bizzare as to why and how this happened.
Also these payments predate her appointment as DG as far as I can see.
It is very likely that the agent knew well NOT to go into details with his client, to ensure that his client has plausible deniability. It wouldn't advantage his client to know the details.
From Google
Astus Group is delighted to announce that Frances Dickens, Chairman and Co-Founder was awarded an OBE in the King's Birthday Honours list today, for services to media trading. Frances started work in advertising media in 1983 & founded Astus with business partner Paul Jackson in 2003.
Frances is British/Irish according to Companies House
Finally something we agree on.
says line… Stares into space … scene ends … delicious.
Did Darcy really say he has no agent? He had one in 2019 for sure and it was Kelly imo - Link above - unless Kelly dropped him since
Nobody else could get Ray that sort of wedge
Edit: I see he did say that
It has its unintentional comedic qualities!
There's a lad running around to random neighbours asking for a kidney donation for his mother presently.
And they're all drinking Kambucha for some reason and keep repeating the word. Probably some dodgy dealings.
She should be made answer to her actions.
Wheelll why are you doing dis to me Wheeeeeeeel.
comedy gold to be fair.
I think you would want to learn how to read a room.
Ryan is absolutely 100% finished. I've no real opinion on him professionally but if you think the public will accept him back you are greatly mistaken.
Dee Forbes on the other hand... Delighted she is finished, a shyster of the highest degree.
Hope I never have to look at those ridiculous glasses again.
I think I'll have an oul drink of Kambucha later to flush out my kidneys.
Great comedy. They've added a token lesbian for pride month. 4 or 5 years ago lesbians made up 33% of the Carrigstown population. Of course Bob loves lesbians.
My experience of semi-state CEO contracts is that the entity pays a contribution into a fund. It shows up in the Annual Report and Accounts
Fair enough. I just don't believe that for one second.
He resigned from the late late..... That's the end of that...
The Premier League comparison is a good one, up to a point. I think it was in the thoughts of RTE management in setting the rewards for their senior players, with BBC/ITV as the comparison.
However the Irish market is tiny compared to the UK, so they are a League of Ireland club trying to keep up with the Premier League wage bill with a small fraction of the fan base and almost zero potential to monetise their radio/TV talking heads via foreign resale rights. In reality they might lose maybe one or two players a decade to the Prem, at most, which like any LOI club they should accept and foster replacement young talent locally.
Newstalk poaching Pat Kenny within Ireland was very unlikely to be repeated regularly. He was a pretty unique "trophy" talent to offer credibility and build a brand around. They might even at one stage have thought about a second star signing (one for the morning and one for the evening), but they would have had a closed cheque book after that. Two flagpoles is quite sufficient and I cannot see any other radio station in Ireland coming near to matching RTEs fees.
We got there
Ok well thats probably half his salary. The radio salary will still have to be paid.
Sash is the worst actress ever
Had Tub's contract run its course before he left LLS? I can't remember, but if it hadn't, then wouldn't RTE balance the amount he would be due to pay back for unfulfilled contract against what's left of the radio gig.
Anyway, I'm sure he left LLS having completed his agreed number of seasons, the issue just came into my head!
Why would you assume that Newstalk presenters are paid less than RTE?
No way you can uphold a charge of bringing RTE into disrepute to the level required to dismiss tubs.
In fact that would suit him down to the ground, unfair dismissal case for a massive payout.
Kietly has to release his pay info. He's just been hired by a load of snakes whose pay practice and use of tax payer's money is disturbing and deceitful.
Labour's Media spokesperson Marie Sherlock said that the allegation that only the former RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes knew all of the facts surrounding Ryan Tubridy's payments "demands investigation".
"We are none the wiser after the publication of the statement by RTÉ as to what is actually going on in the national broadcaster.
"No clarification was provided on why RTÉ's earnings were understated and no attempt was made to address allegations that anonymised invoices were used with the third party agency in Britain.
"Most egregious of all is the allegation that only Dee Forbes knew the full picture regarding additional payments made to Ryan Tubridy. This is simply not credible."
The payout would be worth every penny. Let him off to the BBC then. Or sky. Or newstalk.
It wouldnt be unfair dismissal as he is not an employee. Something in contract law space.
RTE paid pension contributions of above 50k/ years into her pension fund.
She will be grand over 400k in the last 8 years.
Fair enough. Anyhow, sounds like a private pension plan so not something that can be blocked as some here have suggested the government do.
300k of raw talent
