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

You are right. But having worked with a first class CFO, he made absolutely certain there was a proper, accountable, audited system of "delegation of authority" and he had a penchant for employing diligent people who. would query anything they didn't like/understand. (I remember them well!)
Collins says that they were worried about running out of cash....
He was getting €200k and a car
and handing out zero-contracts and bongs contracts like confetti.
Scum.
His defenders were warned that more was to come out and they continued to defend him.
Absolutely agree. But when the **** hits the fans they are 100% accountable. That's why they are paid the big bucks.
was Dr Bill in charge of Renault at the time sounds like one of his deals
It in a nutshell . Thats why he was sloping in , all casual like , done nothing wrong haven't seen anything. Fact is its his responsibility to ensure that this never happens in an organisation that he has " financial control " over .
Seriously , all of these excluding Anne O Leary need to go .
And allowing 75,000 euro credits without question
Exactly. He didn't have the procedures and processes in place to deal with this. He maybe too important for trivial amounts but if the department was run properly then someone there would have brought it to his attention. Now is just looks like a patsy, someone put in that position because he wouldn't ask questions.
You do realise that's €25K PER ANNUM - it's not a once off payment.
Lol
He was selling second hand cars from his council house at that point.
7bn organisation here. I submitted a €100,000k requisition for professional services which landed on our CFOs desk and was rejected in the basis that a full cost benefit analysis is required to be attached as part of approval.
It's a pain in the hole but it's the right way. He wants a view on all the additional information to ensure the diligence is done and the project provides value for money.
It ultimately will be approved.
Anne O'Leary looks to be the only one coming out with any creditability. The new DG coming in must be asking the WTF has he let himself in for but then again he may relish the challenge of changing RTE.
At 3am in his bare feet in the snow and ice. 😀
lol This wan sounds like she is going to cut their throats
He didn't even have the cop on to stall and say something like "it'll be made public in due course".
Everybody hates RTÉ. Everybody thinks it's stars are over paid. They probably are but not as much as people think.
The issue of whether we need public broadcasting should be separated from this issue.
Ryan got greedy and should have spoken out but his issue is being used as a Trojan horse to attack RTE
He is a talented broadcaster.
Im not into his type of shows but he will rise again
Grandstanding is a waste of time
Shes cutting deep
Verona Murphy is some dose
Good speech but will there be any questions?
RTÉ is mainly establishment. It never attacks government refugee policy despite two thirds of people being opposed in Ireland.
Verona standing up for Ryan here.
kudos Verona
Aye grill them stop simmering.
Verona in grandstanding mode here, a bit of a waste of time.
So, the CFO says Forbes told him the €75k were for consultancy services Noel Kelly had offered to RTÉ about restructuring some of its operation during the pandemic.
But they were for Tubridy and his Renault deal.
don’t tell me Tubs didn’t know. Freebie Ryan.
It’s a good speech and final question
She cant read her own notes.
He's one of them!!!!
That was answered yesterday... for " editorial reason"
