RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

gmisk · 28-06-2023 05:38PM

So he wants Tubridy and Renault to come in front of the committee...no mention of NK?

Itssoeasy · 28-06-2023 05:39PM

The PAC isn’t until tomorrow lads.

gmisk · 28-06-2023 05:39PM

Who gives a toss Tubridy has said we has said nothing much more he can say

Arghus · 28-06-2023 05:40PM

Bluster coming hard from this guy. We have a spoofer in the house.

It's obvious why Tubridy can't present his show at the moment.

ChippingSodbury · 28-06-2023 05:40PM

Where is John Rodgers??

Or Ryan Tubridy?

An all out strike might swiftly sort things. Lights and mikes off.

The only way to quickly bring this to a head.

Ryan Tubridy is the messiah. Ah here no he isn’t.

One Who Waits... · 28-06-2023 05:40PM

Ryan is the messiah? He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

gmisk · 28-06-2023 05:41PM

So is Tubridy under contract or not?! Is he getting money or not?!

More Patrick Kielty digging now

Denny61 · 28-06-2023 05:41PM

No comeback for tubs now .he's finished. No body will tune in to his shows now ..he's smarmy and patronising...he just loves the smell of money...

That's exactly what'll happen...

A report will be prepared (and filed), lessons will be learned, confidence must be restored and so on and so forth.

In reality though, back to business as usual I expect - all of this has happened before, and will happen again!

CH3OH · 28-06-2023 05:41PM

They are not even sure who is on the remuneration committee.!

walshb · 28-06-2023 05:41PM

I wonder what Ryan's at now......watching the PAC or on the boards?

limnam · 28-06-2023 05:41PM

significant lapse in cooperate governance in RTE.

I think the DG has summed up the exact problem.

Which has fck all to do with RT or his agent.

Itssoeasy · 28-06-2023 05:43PM

So Tubriby as of now had a contract that was sent to the agent. Doesn’t sound like he’s signed it.

Having a few beers and a good laugh with a certain Mr Kelly? Perhaps a few "nose clams fresh from the sea" as well?

False invoicing.

They colluded with elements in RTE to conceal payments from its board.

NK should be entirely dispensed with and have no involvement with RTE whatsoever.

RTE needs root and branch reform if its governance of course also.

RTE own 50% of GAAGO.

(This is also not a secret, when GAAGO was announced it was announced as a joint venture between RTE and the GAA).

It has a lot to do with RT and his agent

Baffling you claim it doesn't

he fact RT agent is currently dictating to RTE on their pay scheme and setting up dodgy transactions, with notes attached to contracts. RT running events and RTE been made to foot the bill etc

Oh it has lots to do with RT, lot and lots and lots

gmisk · 28-06-2023 05:47PM

This SF fella is adding nothing bar a moan so far...questions that already been asked...oh now better more digging into whether contract open or not!!!

I got the names of RTE people here. And how I thought they fared with the Oireachtas Media Committee.

https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/other/who-are-the-seven-rte-executives-before-oireachtas-media-committee-on-tubridy-payment-scandal/ar-AA1d9Liq

Siún Ní Raghallaigh - RTE Chair - seemed contrite for most of it - but seemed at worst very naive

Anne O'Leary, Chair of Audit & Risk Committee RTÉ - seemed really pissed off and can't wait to bring an audit to see what the craic is, seemed disgusted with the whole lot of them

Robert Shortt, Member of Audit & Risk Committee and Board staff representative - I can't remember him saying anything of note

Adrian Lynch, Interim Deputy Director General - admitted mistakes, but seems to be comfortable in that he is at a distance to any RTE governance issues

Richard Collins, Chief Financial Officer - a complete and utter bollix - used the DG signed off on it as his shield - said he was comfortable with it as long as the DG (Forbes) signed

Geraldine O'Leary, Director of Commercial - ducked and dived the difficult questions - basically nothing to do with her line

Rory Coveney, Director of Strategy - like drawing blood out a a turnip - even claimed the 'commercial sensitivities' line so as not to give figures
