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

She reminds me of CSPE teacher in whose class you could run riot in.
That is the blonde woman? Playing thick when it suits?
Or wouldn't it be great if the got a list of questions from someone inside RTE...
I think the new chair is decent - she was first out to talk about this - she seems deflated and defeated and in fairness only in the role 7 months - potentially she’s the one who blew the lid off this whole thing?
Sorry yes this is the Oireachtas Media Committee. Whatever that's supposed to do.
Yeah, it very reminiscent of Bertie’s lines during the Tribunals. Signing blank cheques.
They must think people are awful fools.
Wurkkin on st paddy’s day
w. T. F. ????
Point of order, this isn't the PAC but the sport/media committee. The PAC is usually better as it has more capable members, however it does suffer its share of grandstanding and waffle too.
Poor performance from new CFO and the commercial manager seems like a right wagon. RTE chair ni rahaillaigh is woeful.
Apparently Dee Forbes is on the way after watching the first 30 mins of this shambles.
She seems to have good control on it anyway, good manner and presence about her.
Shur we have to have lots of com -i-tees so the poor under paid TD's can get a few extra quid 😀
What the actual F - so the auditor highlighted issues and she asked them to step aside ?
If that’s not sus …
Sounds like they were afriad of what would be found and wanted total control.
This guy not good with asking the questions here.....
A lad asleep there, has he no fooking shame.
Who are the “Dee Loight ”.
I could quite easily nod off listening this guy....
Alan Dillon really unprepared
In his own world he seems to think he is Matlock
Hey, he listened to Dunphy on VM last night. What more do you want?
Just like an all Ireland final
Inexcusable. Possibly the most watched committee ever (probably more than the Delaney appearance), Oireachtas streaming was struggling here and couldn't prepare properly.
Still no direct questioning of Coveney. The person in RTE responsible for strategy and risk management.
Is that not bizarre? He sure af didn't manage this risk very well
And he's been there since 2011... far longer than other board members
But never in the room.
"My bank account's always growin' and I don't like it showin'
But I don't get no lovin' and that's no lie,
I spent the night at Renault, to keep myself off Skid Row
From that night, I kissed my job goodbye,
Don't blame it on the sunshine, Don't blame it on the moonlight, Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the DG
Blame it on the DG....
Now they wanna smack me, or maybe even sack me,
But I just wanna talk about Ice cream,
I'll change my life completely, I'll see the light, believe me,
Please don't take this cushy job off me,
I just can't, I just can't, I just can't control my fees,
I just can't, I just can't, I just can't control my fees, woooooooooo!"
Useless.
Alan Dillon got this gig because he was a GAA player and not competence. Fast tracked by Enda Kenny.
Not the most ethical in itself.
I have to go back to work but my analysis would be apart from the opening speaker RTE Execs have got off very lightly.
Mattie McGrath singing she bangs...I am in!
They should get Matty trained up in sign language. He blind them all.
Most impressive so far seems to the Risk manager.
Shame there seems to literally be a grand total of one actual competent politician (Munster) on this committee....asking very few probing questions. Someone like a neasa hourigan would be ripping into them.
