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

Heat being turned up slightly here.
Ah a bit shite to be pulling Kielty into this. Not his fault
Is this Griffins Mrs ?
We should have a boards.ie pool to correctly guess Kieltys salary. Winner gets their licence fee paid for the year.
Currently on RTE one...Dermot Bannon...
The board not knowing the NK Management numbers is shocking.
Baz's ma has an agent,😒 she's only the one gig cos of her son and NK taking a percentage, wow
So they said 4-5....now saying 10-11
Then another lie....disgrace
Optically it looks bad because Irish people are very resentful and spiteful towards higher earners, particularly towards people who work in RTE. Apparently the Radio forum on this site has been a bitchfest towards people’s salaries for the best part of fifteen years. For reasons I don’t personally agree with there is a perception that people who work for RTE are somehow public property who can be slaughtered and slandered with impunity.
Ethically/morally I don’t see how Ryan did anything wrong. He didn’t enrich himself from selling slaves to Lithium miners or from building skyscrapers in Dubai. He accepted an absurd pay rise from a company that dispenses money like Smarties. The fault lies with RTE.
This RTE board has nothing but distain for the committee. They just see it as something they have to get through, a waste of time with subordinates that get less money than them, and have never to get back to. This is merely optics for them. Say nothing.
250k is my guess, a show a week for under 40 weeks....easy money.
So the deal for Kielty hasn't been approved?!
They could offer Tubs a new contract ?
Robert Shortt is a bit scared of her. He just wants to go back to the Newsroom and talk about inflation.
He negotiated a deal for his client that has effectively finished off his clients career. That's not great really.
A Tommy Gorman interview with Ryan would be gold.
I’ve only seen since since Brendan Griffin and when the chair asked the deputy DG about how many staff are represented by NK and he said “within RTE ? “ ffs where else is it about ?
I think he clarified he thought they meant how many out of the top 10 earners.
Of all things to lie about, I don't think he'd risk lying about something fairly small and inconsequential, and which is very easy to prove. I think he just took the question up wrong.
We need to interview this guy.
What about the kids on the street, Ryan? This is hurting you.
I thought the Kielty stuff was good as they were all still hmming and looking at each other but couldn't play the I wasn't there then card.
I have the offer ready, too generous imo
55% from license fee I think...
Ahh it was clear the first time they didn't ask about the top 10. They are lying and still lying about the numbers
I wont be renewing mine.
They can go **** themselves.
RTE have been absolutely skewered here today. RT and NK are dealing with complete buffoons.
Who is the chair of the committee? She is very good.
The CFO should be taken out and flogged.
It was interesting that one TD said he was waiting for answers to questions from a March committee. These elite feckers feel they are above us all.
This employee/worker rep is just singing off the hymn sheet. Don't think the employees with be happy with that backing of the board.
Lynch is unbearably smug.
Here we go 👍️
Here we go.
He comes Michael McNamara. This will be fun.
