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

No, just covering up the evidence - shredding the web pages as we speak
And the Pat Kenny example I gave a few pages back utterly disproves this.
When Tubs or Duffy go on holidays (and both take approx. 3 months off a year) do the advertisers stop advertising on their shows? No. They don’t.
It’s utterly laughable hearing Duffy in particular talk about advertising. Often on his show the only ads are for other RTE shows.
Absolute mad how in the space of 3-4 weeks Tubridy has gone from an absolute hero to villain.
The self-indulgent platitudes and fawning on his final late late with multiple big names pretending they gave a Sh1t, to him now being seen by many as a money- hungry me-feiner.
it’s been some epic fall..
Top Talent right there🤮
A top talent at being an absolute gaslighting spoofer.
Golden hankshakes are common, loyalty bonuses etc.
It is the hiding it from the public that was the big mistake here. I don’t understand why they did. Trying to fool the public, it loses trust of the public and those lower down the RTE food chain.
Now ironically we have RTE journalists only too delighted to dig in on their current/former bosses.
I'm the same. Had a look at lunchtime today. Next login 6pm and there were 30 pages on today's committee! I scanned but couldn't read all properly.
He's in isolation now himself and no Covid.
They DID highlight it earlier, haven’t you been paying attention?
I see lots of the rte staff signed up to that same agent. What's the reason that no one else has these hidden payments going on and only Tubs?
He loved the chance to preach and be, in his own mind, 'presidential'. He fancies himself as a JFK or RFK.
Apart from lying in interviews about his supposed salary cuts.
We all kinda know his Andrew's background but here's a little on the Tubridy side.
'His father, Patrick Tubridy of Blackrock, who died in January 2013, was a psychiatrist, working at the St John of God campus in Stillorgan, and the only son of the Fianna Fáil TD Seán Tubridy (1897–1939). Seán Tubridy was the only son of Patrick Tubridy (1869–1920) and Jane Waldron (born 1868).'
Has NK disabled the NKM website?
lol. Sadly for him there’s lots of screen grabs out there….
Effectively Tubridy was sacked today. It's "impossible" for him to return.
They are hoping he resigns - something that we all agree won't happen.
Learnt today Tubridy refused to take a pay-cut in early 2009 (even when colleagues such as Pat Kenny and Marian Finucane agreed to salary cuts). I think he eventually took a 10% payout. A sign of things to come.
Agree, needs to be a very thorough investigation of these type of arrangements both in RTÉ and any similar used elsewhere in commercial life. If one good thing comes out of this, it will a thorough explanation to the public and establishing if there is any potential loss to Revenue and the state’s coffers. And if there is, prosecutions and tax bills.
Yep he has form.
Unfortunately this affair might make him even richer if RTE has to pay him off.

From above: “A dentist may well give her accountant a filling in full or part-exchange for bookkeeping services,”
This practice as described results in loss of revenue to the state. Let’s suppose the value of the bartered transactions are €200 each way. That’s €200 that should be going through the accounts of each business and on which tax is payable. If the services are vat rated, then VAT must be collected and handed over. Both parties would have costs and inputs for running their businesses,?which they’ll be writing off e.g. dentist will buy anaesthetics and filling materials, have receptionist/ nurse assistant to pay etc. Bartering makes sense for non commercial exchanges of work but surely not when the core business is being bartered. Strong whiff of tax avoidance.
Most of the essential code now stripped away. I was having a bit of fun with playing with the code yesterday… 😁
Maybe NK was nervous RTS would recode the site and put it up on a similar sounding parody domain 😉
The reputational damage can't be quantified monetarily. That sticks.
I wonder what domains NK owns. I have a couple of domains, but none intended to deceive anyone into thinking a site of mine would relate to anyone else., but what if I had NKManagement.whateverisavailable and I took some some of the code and jumbled it to my hearts desire, and posted around links etc or sent some spoof emails to relevant bodies with the links. Fortunately I’m just mischievous but not a deceiver.
I can access the NKM site, it looks the same as yesterday.
This week of news is brought to you entirely by members of NK's stable. Think about that... This little turd has way too much power. How was this allowed to happen? How is there no competition? What is going on? Where is all the money going?
They know all too well and don't want to put NKM at the heart of this. Sure I can list of at least 10 people working for RTE who have NKM as their agent.
i won’t sign with anyone that can’t snake me €500k in bonuses.
In fact unless they’re so good at it I don’t even realise they’ve paid me that money I won’t hire them. That’s what NK did for Ryan sure isn’t it? He was so snakey even poor tubs didn’t know he got that money.
?
gdpr compliant.. give me strength
suppose there’s the talent he hasn’t found yet 😂
Noel is very expensive when RTÉ are paying for it, and very cheap it seems from the website example when he is.
