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

If RTE were paying 'consultancy' invoices, did they deduct 20% professional services withholding tax, as semi state bodies are required to do when paying such invoices.
Veronica Murphy TD out flying - asks why Tubridy removed from the air if he has done nothing wrong and likely costing much more than the 150k.
Also questioned the amount of RTE scapegoating, also asking will Lynch resign? It was Lynch who forced Tubridy off the air for 'editorial reasons' to maintain independence.
A definite highlight of the PAC so far. Lynch refuses to resign - Murphy says then 'talk is cheap'.
Alan, ya were a great footballer but you don't deserve two days of questioning.
It’s nice to see Verona putting the board under pressure.
Alan is back. Sleepy time Vienna.
Verona Murphy is clearly a Toyman supporter.
🙄 🤣
I'll be honest, I don't think she even knows. She's talking about some theoretical compensation should he sue RTE in the future.
Dillon pronounces the “T” in Renault.
Seriously this guy really seems like he's gonna fall asleep!
Collins in for another battering
Verona is correct. This debacle will cost RTE hundreds of thousands of euro because there's no chance of Tubridy resigning.
I wouldn't say Renault are too pleased, alright, they must some chat behind closed doors.
Still no details about the barter account and whether it had a separate bank account or who authorised the transactions that went through it as it wasn't the finance department .
I read somewhere in the past two days that credits of 50 million has gone through that barter account - will try to find it again.
She'd do well knitting beside Madame Guillotine
Bring back Brendan!
“Maybe the tax payer was defrauded”
If she couldn't hear the dep DG, what would she make of Mattie
"Maybe the taxpayer was defrauded..."
Can't see why he could sue? I think they did the right thing taking him off air while this is going on. Yes he may have done nothing wrong but he still couldn't be on air while in the middle of this mess.
She is pretty sure that RT will sue if he loses his job or for lost earnings.
Dillon now pronounced Renault with a silent “T”
Geraldine now saying thousand instead of grand
10 rugby tickets for over 100 grand 😂
Collins now trying to redeem himself by having some figures. 😀
Okay, Alan Dillon is a bit improved from yesterday.
Jesus this PAC is embarrassing, toothless courtroom where 99% of those doing the cross examination are completely thick. And playing to the gallery.
This barter account is corruption.
Yeah wtf is she sticking up for RT here over the culture of scrimping over ordinary workers and paying ' the talent'way over what everyone thinks they are worth ?
Isn't he suppose to be out of contract or something now?
Lol. Ok, if you really think that despite all of the available evidence, I think you'll find you're in the minority.
