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

Perks for the directors going through the barter account, unreal
You'd probably get more sense out of 'em
Corrupt media, corruption government.
Why is Coveney not being asked for his side notes, accounts, and junket activity?
That should be a peg or 2 grand, surely?😀
You and I might ...
But not VIPs surely ? ;)
I can tell you 100% there were many RTE staff and Directors at some of the events I was at.
I'll be writing an email to several members of this committee tonight re. this.
I don't think he;s lying.
Seems to be just a bit of an idiot.
Are they still saying that nothing illegal was done? Seems to be a lot more coming out now? I’ve missed the last hour so not sure
Oh yeah and their partners.
Boom, Moya. Absolute performative head turning nonsense caught out. Didn't know about the account. Piss off.
They should just say that Evil Podge took all the money and they dunno where it is.
A trip for RTE staff...I bet it wasn't for the lowly researchers on the likes of Tubs show though!
All the highly paid folk looking after themselves no doubt.
He did take the pay cut from the base contract. So he didn't lie.
RTE constructed a commercial deal to increase his income.
RTE are at fault here.
Yeah, that's not credible really.
Now the €345k extra that Tubs got seems like chicken feed to what was being blown.
Doherty saying she was totally unaware of the existence of a “barter fund” and believes its use is “staggering”...
Just performative nonsense.
The chair of a national broadcaster but not aware.
I am surprised they didn't interrogate that a bit more, ah, yeah, there, could have been a bit of fraud there, you know yourself sure.
I havn't heard 'planet Zog' mentioned for years, Until that TD Devlin mentioned it.
When are Zig and Zag been called in?
CFO is lying lying lying and then lying again
Geraldine O' Leary - needs to be taken down a peg or 2000
Gardai getting involved?
Revenue need to be all over this
Oh dear that CFO got caught again.
He caught him well there.
CFO is an absolute weasel.
I’m liking John Brady’s suggestion!
There were two rugby transactions - both north of €100,000.
One was a trip for RTE staff and "clients" to go to the Rugby World Cup in Japan for 1 week.
The other was the purchase of 10 x 10 year tickets from the IRFU. This was the more expensive of the two.
Now why the RTE have to pay for 10 tickets when they're the event broadcaster is another matter of course.
Hi to benefit tubs who said he had taken a pay cut but for covid would have taken the money under the table for 5 years and no one would be the wiser
Sure everyone not from Dublin gets buses to or parks in Drumcondra and has to walk the rest of the way, never mind getting a coach from Drumcondra to Croker.
That's gas - thought he said he didn't know anything about the barter account?
We've been told repeatedly it wasn't under the control of the finance department.
