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

Can't watch at the mo, so appreciating the updates. Some of you would get a huge gig in RTE for your wit and satire.
Siún seems a bit on the weak and retiring side to me. I couldn't see her "explaining" to the Exec to get their act together - or else!
No, it's infuriating.
I'm behind watching the committee, and in this thread - but Mattie McGrath is just grandstanding - and incomprehensibly at that, I also spent most of his time thinking he was asking "who are you lying to?".
The chair should direct him to ask a question or shut up.
About as convincing as a Ryan Tubridy Late Late show this
That's an important point the minuits of meeting should be requested by the committee.
Has Rory Coveney been asked anything so far?
Yes, I know, but not until he corrected it. Mattie should not be on any Committee. He is an incoherent disaster.
I think the politicians on the pac are weak. Sorry but this just seems to be a bit of a circus. There should be a proper investigation instead of this charade.
The CFO is a right weasel, actually, they are all weasels squirming in their seats at this meeting 😊
There have been end of contract payments in the past....
Ha!
NK should start offering his services to Premier League players.
I do see Noel Kelly around the locals here in Ballsbridge the odd day (not recently). Well known with regulars. I'm a contractor in a different industry but I'll be tapping him up for advice 🤣
It is amazing to hear that two members of the Exec Comm either didn't know or didn't ask anything about the barter account. Amazing and unbelievable.
The CFO I worked with would have been all over this like a rash!!
Hopefully the committee have shared their questions and we don't get the same questions asked over and over again.
he didn't...he asked them who were they loyal to...not who were they lying to :D :D
These politicians aren't prepared at all. Comical.
Just ask them to quit as a board and to hand over every file and paper with a titbit of information on it. They're not fit for purpose.
Mattie sounds drunk. There's no person in Tipp that could understand that.
But his essential point about loyalty holds. They are not loyal to the tax payer. They're loyal to the culture of the board and therein lies the problem. He's right.
they'll be queueing up to join them, given his ability to get the fees for his clients he gets!!!!
when it comes to earnings, nobody gives much of a sh1t about what their agent is doing, and can claim deniability if anything goes wrong!.
TBH, there should be an appearance from someone in NKM to attend and assist in transparency around the situation!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You'd think there would be someone better than that gombeen rattling around the Dail!
One can be in the room in a physical way but not in a mental /spiritual way !!!!
also when that part of the discussion was going on I was on a toilet/smoke break !!
from my experience, all meetings - of any basic importance - are / should be minuted and if something of great importance is being discussed a board/ committee members absence for whatever short time , is noted. Also, if a board /committee member has a conflict of interest - which they should declare- in a discussion/decision being made they should vacate the meeting room and if they do not they should be requested to do so
all of the above is basic to running meetings properly and forms the basis of good governance along with other operating procedures.

Not only is Mattie loyal, but he has no fate, either
The main amusing part so far.
Mattie McGrath TD ‘Who are ye Lyle ta?
RTE Rep - Lying to? I don’t understand the question.
Mattie McGrath TD - Lyle, Lyle
RTE rep - Oh loyal?
Mattie McGrath TD - yeah Lyle!
rte are not an individual in fairness so you can’t really “punish” rte because all you’re doing is punishing the many people who did nothing wrong.
The individuals responsible however are another matter. Luckily we see already there has been backlash and consequences (Dee Forbes has effectively gone underground with Tubirdy also)
now it’s down to finding out who else was involved and making sure they are not let away with it.
Believe it or not, he said " loyal" not "lying". I also thought it was "lying". Mattie is an arsehole.
I'm starting to think the wages in rte are not too outrageous compared to our elected officials.
He's an absolute waste of time. Absolutely embarrassing this is the standard allowed sit on the committee.
It's akin to a lad rambling in the smoking area down the local in rural Tipp.
The Chair needs to be more robust and reign this rambling nonsense in.
Mattie McGrath is a complete embarrassment.
Why does the Oireachtas live feed only show a short clip?
