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

When I first watched one in the late 2000s at the time of some of the charity /rehab Center payment/money wasting scandals, I called it X-factor for politicians.
That Bosco analogy was half baked and cringeworthy.
Plus an extra pocket hidden in the lining - just in case anyone wants to barter
bosco got a mention!
A 5 minute sos, where are we school.
it's just for politicians showboating
That bit is where it's at
40 coats and his 50 pockets
sounds like a parable
lol - slightly more than ONE persons average salary in RTE in 2021.
It was previously referred to as the Kangaroo court.
You’d think she would been coached not to use language like that lol.
😂😂😂
How is Siún Ní Raghallaigh (sp?) in charge of anything, never mind this Exec Board??
She seems incapable of stringing a sentence together.
"they were raised in my office, but i didn't see them...." WTF
Following question should have been "OK - Who raised them, and under whose instruction, and who gave that person the wording for the invoices?" and then "why, if you said you were asked to raise the invoices by the DG at the time, did you not know what was on the invoices?"
There's an absence of pertinent and searching questions today - hope it's better tomorrow!
Ah, at last I understand - Barter Account = Slush Fund
I think he means it would never be actual RTE policy to do it, but somebody made the decision to do it regardless.
Id prefer if she said seventy five thousand tub bucks
Surely the full transaction history of the Barter Account should be presented?
I hate the way that lady says “75 grand”
Worse still the committee repeatedly said they were pushed for time. What does Mattie do? Goes on a rambling rant, talks over the chair who calmly has to say ‘Can I speak?’
How, if the Interim DG says there was no way that RTE would underwrite a guarantee; but they did. What am I missing??
has the pac committee ever actually had any results in terms of changing behaviour or policy?
it seems to me that it's just for politicians showboating.
mind a bunch of politicians accusing anyone of wasting public money is in pot call kettle black territory anyway.
It was glossed over as well - he was asked about end of contract payments and were there more of these payments currently and he said no, just for Ryan Tubridy but there had been in the past.....
Best bit of telly aired by RTE in a long time.
Never mind stringing a sentence together...I don't think he can string a word...
I thought that someone else had borrowed a Babel fish from Hitchhiker's Guide and shoved it in his ear at a crucial moment.
Didn't they say different yesterday?
Surely they wouldn't be lyle to us?
Maybe Simon gave him a note
Coveney just talking for the sake of it. Pathetic.
Press pac packed pac, talking a pack of rubbish
This lad is in charge of risk management
