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

Certainly in any photos has the ‘godfather’ schtick going.
You know you're really up **** creek without a paddle when Pintman Paddy is out defending 😂
Home early from work today and got watching the Dail Media committee sink their teeth into RTE management (shown on RTE News Now.)
Who says RTE don't produce brilliant television!
😁😁😁😁😁
If a strictly commercial station is paying him that he is worth it, can't see the attraction myself but obviously, I'm wrong.
I found it easy to separate Emma the journalist from Emma the union leader. Let me tell you something, try it sometime.
From 2011: "The controversy about the huge pay packets of RTÉ stars has been going on for months now..."
I'll pop this here for anyone who may not have read it before. Hiding in plain sight, one might say.

If you want to accuse people of lying, then own it and make the accusation. It’s got nothing to do with them showing emotion.
No doubt. None of them are worth it,but Kenny was getting 400,000 from Newstalk for just his radio show several years ago, probably more now. Maybe he has some justification for the entitlement.
Mind boggling that the best chat show host on the planet, bar none, costs 3m per year across all the markets his show is sold in.
And RTE are paying for ... this shower of useless ****.
there was one board member and whenever she referred to the €75000 she said 75grand.
Found that startling
After listening to the entire Joint committee and the 7 RTE board members, I do not have the confidence in these people to manage RTE going forward.
Dee Forbes has been scape- goated and the irish government should sack the entire board.
Im not paying my TV Licence next year. Ive no confidence in any of the people interviewed today.

It's shows the entitled attitude of the "talent", which has been indulged by RTE for decades now. Duffy , Finucane and Gerry Ryan had come out with similar stuff.
There's tons of complaints every time RTE publish their top 10 earners list.
way to go Catherine, a real hard hitting statement, not 🤬 ‘ deeper challenges ‘ … would you ever go and……
Thanks.
It's not been easy exposing them, not with the interference and organized efforts from certain quarters, not to mention the accusation of being insane, a c*nt, unkind (lol), mentally ill, a psycho, a stalker, deranged, unemployed, vindictive, and the many, many other things I've been called over the years by the NKM and Tubs supporters.
The last week has been "delicious" though.
How would Darcy pay for his porridge, Duffy for his coddle, and Claire for her hair on those paltry amounts?
Yeah darcy looks like something from the sonderkommando in Aushwitz.
A complete knob. Always lecturing peoe on their diets.
hilarious
Renault could get an EV to backfire – They’re hurting bigtime here. Peak 232 advertising season and they stopped their ad campaign last week. They’re knee deep in this and the public are angry puppies
Won’t end well
The all-new Renault Barter - available in Petrol/Diesel/PHEV and full EV – Take a test drive before the end of June and get a cost-neutral gift of a Ryan Tubridy punch bag - (a degree in electrical engineering is a distinct advantage)
This was in 2000,he was defending his own salary.
The size of the salary isn't really the issue anyway, it's the underhandness. If they'd paid him the half million probably nobody would have much complained.
D'Arcy at €100k! They couldn't wait to get him out the door in TodayFM!
His porridge did nothing for his addiction to chatting about mental instability.
Ian Dempsey had a going away party for Ray. Ray wasn't invited, but it was a full house to celebrate.
The Andrews will be shouting around the Oireachtas tomorrow.
Critical to open this potential can of worms and toss it out for all to see. We might learn a few things about how to game the system ourselves!
Pat Kenny is an absolute scumbag. I don't know how people listen to him. Then again, people seem to love these sanctimonious, arrogant gits.
As far as I know Nevin got his break on Open House with Marty Whelan and Mary Kennedy. He then stuck around because he was kind of likable.
It’s not possible to separate the dance from the dancer
Pat Kenny had a different take on things,,,
"I often wonder why there isn't the same fuss over the salaries paid to footballers like John O'Shea, earning more in three weeks than Marian Finucane earns in a year."There is a double standard there. These people put themselves on the line, they entertain the nation week in, week out, and yet they are paid a trivial amount compared to footballers."

When baulking at being asked to take a paycut in 2007...
Kenny, whose company Pat Kenny Media Services Limited, paid €185,930 in taxes and social security costs in 2007, claimed on his radio show last week that he is "probably supporting several public servants in their jobs".

You could remove all those Top 10 paid presenters and a few more and replace them with up & coming staff. Might take a little adjustment but very few would notice after a while.
Because they are likely more driven by their own self interests, and not general injustice like they are pretending to. If you really think the halls of RTE are full of people who know little about the inner workings of RTE then you're very naïve.
I’d say we haven’t heard half the story yet, there may be an interesting answer to that question yet to be uncovered.
