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

When the Chair of RTE says that Patrick Kielty's contract has to go in front of a remuneration committe, did Ryan Tubridy's not have to go through the same process?
"cost neutral"....ha ha look at the figures!!?? It's in the report!
Impressive questioning. I could get behind a Fine Gael with such a personality at the helm.
I'd like to see him go at some of the cowboys in his party and the Department of Health.
I imagine the side deal didn't as it was "separate" commercial one.
Contract up for Tubridy he has confirmed.
Tv and radio contract done.
They were negotiating radio one...they aren't now.
But that directly contradicts this story!
This lad starts by reading his CV.
Relax, he's only getting 500k a year. The additional 500k is a cost saving to us, otherwise he might walk and be picked up by a queue of other broadcasters who never wanted him in the first place.
I'd be surprised if they have a host for this coming season. RTE have also put it almost entirely on Kielty to agree to having his contract and salary made public.
If I was Patrick Kielty I'd be thinking "F*ck this!"
He certainly came across very well and a lot more impressive than some of their "senior" ministers. Now admittedly, this is based on his performance today but we need a lot more direct questions and calling out of things where they don't add up like he did today.
He probably did but it appears it was a box ticking exercise, but I’d be fairly sure from what I’ve heard, it may not be as sure for Patrick Kielty. RT wont be on his Christmas card list if what tubs did fecks his deal up.
Good?
Let's see if someone else offers him what RTE have (likely).
The CFO should do the Late Late
Why was he on radio in June if contract ended may 31st?
21 years ago !
Jesus It's the history channel now
This all smacks of money been stolen so if no body in rte can account for the extra money being paid out...
To be fair, his point (when he got to it!) is that very little seems to have changed which would be an accurate assessment.
Chairwoman of Oireachtas Media Committee = Niamh Smyth TD
This Murphy fella is asking questions when he already knows the answers...
This toy show musical has already been in front of committees...wasting time when he could be asking some pertinent questions
Yeah but wants the RTE attendees on the record.
Coveney comes across as weak and dodgy. He can't answer direct questions. He needs to be coached like his brother.
Only just started watching so Toy Show musical cancelled but wont discuss the cost because it may be back again - WTF?
And the old commercial sensitivity line
Shocking, doesn't want to give figures on anything if possible.
Well that was a waste of 5 minutes or whatever
Toy Show The Musical losses would need another days worth of discussion.
here we go!
Boyd Barrett....I am guessing lots of....free Palestine!!! Free houses and free healthcare for all!
Or a load of grand standing and no real questions
Yeah a few skeletons there to poke at.
3 minutes for Richard Boyd Barrett is a joke.
wtf is toy show the musical
What does Elon Musk have to do with media ? Murdoch I get but didn’t follow that.
