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

RTE promoted it for nearly a year.
They were lots and lots of show.
Tickets were very expensive. Tickets didn't sell.
Shows were cancelled.
It sort of showed me what people really thought of The Late Late Toy Show. It's fine at home for a night.
I do feel sorry for the kids involved tough. Ryan was making it sound like they were going to be super stars.
Or a "cute hoor".
NK sent false invoices. I dont which side came up with the ploy.
No service was provided. Consulting or other.
It was false accounting and concealment.
Troy studios around a lot longer than the 6 months she’s in rte.
What's bizarre is you don't seem to understand right from wrong morally or even care.
Suppose everyone in RTE took Tubridys attitude. What then?
If he's the highest paid earner is not relevant.
Staff taken a 15% pay cut is not relevant.
Publicly funded. Not relevant (It's only part public)
My understand his he did take the 15% in his contract (outside the the 3rd party)
No other presenter not doing it, not relevant.
Pretty much everything you stated has nothing to do with it.
If he's a greedy scumbag. so is anyone that tries to protect their living.
If it was a bank? No. If it was an orphanage? Yes.
RTE is publicly funded, and Tubridy was the highest paid presenter, and everyone was getting a 15% paycut, even those getting paid far, far less. Yes, in this instance its fair to consider him to be greedy for looking for his extra bit on the side.
Tubridy and NK asking for a top up is not a major issue. They’re always going to ask. It’s a bit dick-ish against a backdrop of solidarity and pay cuts, but NKs job is to get the best deal possible for his client.
RTE made a mess, they should never have underwritten the Renault deal. This is the root of all the problems.
But the contract was to be paid regardless if service was provided.
How can it be false?
RT is at fault for misrepresenting that he had taken a 15% pay cut (in solidarity with the rest of RTE) which at the most reasonable interpretation is lying by omission. Neither he nor NK might have done anything illegal but it was a devious, hidden way of making sure Ryan kept his income.
And as Ryan trades on his "man of the people", calling it how he sees it with a straight bat, showing empathy and morality with the common man etc etc he's cooked his goose and is shown up as feckless and self-serving. But he hasn't done anything illegal.
Anyone seen the video of Ryan in a shop buying something and a guy with a phone asking him for comment and he runs out of shop and down an alley way full of people lol great viewing
Why did they falsely invoice?
For the craic?
Sorry I didn't read all the pages but was any question asked about paying Renault's expenses?
I guess RTE would need a lot of car manufactures in their back pocket.
When did he take the 15per cent cut?
He lied about the extent of the paycut.
Why do you think RTE staff are on the warpath?
He is a greedy scumbag fullstop.
Not my fault if you are morally bankrupt to and would do the same grubby conduct and lie to your colleagues.
How would you get paid out if no invoice was sent?
How do you invoice on a guaranteed contract regardless if service if provided or not.
his contract outside of the 3rd party agreement came down by 15%
Hence the 15% coming from the commercial agreement.....
Not to doubt you but have you got a link to those figures. What year did his published salary go down 15 per cent.
Does your job involve pontificating to everybody and anybody that listens to you on a whole range of matters/current events, from some sort of moralistic high ground that has turned out to be total utter Bull$hit?
Ah now Ody, there's no need to get personal here.
I don't lie to my colleagues but I do withhold information. As it's my expirience people get very bitter and upset when they hear people are on higher wages in similar roles because some people are under some strange illusion everyone should be paid the same.
If you think that makes me morally bankrupt fine. But please, there's no need to get personal.
Sure they previously appointed Larry Bass CEO of Shinawil Productions (who produce Dancing with the RTE Staff and several other RTE shows) to the RTE board.
It's as bad a board as the FAI had, minimal independence.
No, but I don't see the relevance.
You invoice properly. Why wouldnt you?
But if you do that... it gets picked up by the Board and your scam comes to light. Can the Board stop the payments? I dunno but they can certainly cease such deals in future and start dropping NK.
Not sure what year it was. But I imagine the year everyone else dropped 15%
Fair enough
Didn't he distance himself from TSTM it was clear it was going to be a colossal flop?
He fixed the roads!
RTÉ News understands that Patrick Kielty has expressed his wishes to make his fee for the Late Late Show public once it goes through the appropriate processes, including the remuneration committee of RTÉ.
RTÉ and Mr Kielty are understood to be revisiting the issues of making it public.
Quoted funny because of paragraphs.
I said 350kish earlier, I'll stick with that for the Boards Bingo.
This has it.
