    Coveney has a face on him like a young child in class hoping the teacher won't pick on him.

    Its pretty obvious that Kelly, Tubridy and Forbes are all gonna be in those chairs over the coming weeks - Some of these will have been fired by then and it will just be another round of 'throw under the bus' exercise and this lot will be the ones getting run over!

    This PAC will 100% exonerate Ryan.

    LOL. So Noel Kelly got €150,000 for advising RTE on how to deal with Noel Kelly during COVID!!!

    This is hilarious.

    It is nice to see our elected tds working together towards one goal for once.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,789 ✭✭✭Karppi


    Leaving do being arranged for the CFO....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Theboinkmaster


    He needs to be fired immediately for gross negligence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,052 ✭✭✭saabsaab


    And they never got the full facts on that either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,008 ✭✭✭Sorolla


    Yesterday was like the mock leaving cert maths paper 1


    today is like the LC Maths paper 1

    When Turbidy/Kelly/Forbes do appear it will the best RTE homegrown entertainment probably ever, but unfortunately I doubt there will be much consequence for those involved other than 'repetitional damage'.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Why don’t they pronounce the letter “T” in Renault?


    I’d say mattie would



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,006 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    I can keep with all the questionable stuff coming out of the RTE people's mouthes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    I'd have more faith in the most junior finance position in my company than I do in Richard Collins.

    I like the way Munster leaves the incredulous answer hanging, and the viewer can read between the lines.

    Here's my plan for RTE. No more contractors, no more agents, no more Noel Kellys, no more avoiding PRSI.

    Everyone is made permanent staff of RTE on a reasonable wage and that includes presenters. And no-one is paid more than 200k. Like it or lump it.

    Why or when did public service broadcasting stop being about content and become all about the "stars"? I'm guessing when the likes of Kelly got involved.

    " Come on be truthful " ;)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,172 ✭✭✭Gen.Zhukov


    Forbes had a very close relationship with Noel Kelly - like, 'new extension on her house' type close relationship?

    This is one of the most annoying features boards have introduced - especially on a live topic like this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,604 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    It does not look good so far and it is only early stages. The more they open their gobs the more questions are raised.

    Words matter - especially when the ‘stakes are high’. Just listening to Joe Duffy and words are being thrown around like confetti to refer to the various organised groups involved in operating the company. Eg the board - which board?;the executive board, ; the executive committee;etc. IMO the term ‘ board’ is preserved for The Board of Directors - it has OVERALL responsibility , the buck stops there and each board member has to behave very carefully re honesty, etc, because if not and a company/ organisation loses money because of being knowingly fed false information then that person is financially liable for the loss.

    Any other group under the Board is called something else but mainly called a COMMITTEE - be it finance, legal, hiring, development, etc.

    Highly paid officials who turn a blind eye to dubious extra payments and think they can bluff through . O'Leary was laughing at Mattie yesterday ( yeh I know hes a joke but still ) They won't be laughing today .

    The truth rises to the top. These people aren't telling the truth. That's why they can't remember and can't string a sentence together.
