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

Well I was confused yesterday and apparently it was qualified as to what the state of play was in regards to the contract, but now it’s in dispute.
FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
all day long
jesus fupping christ they took Public Money and used it to buy lols for well heeled clients? is that what I'm hearing here? RWC & CL trips, 10 year tix to Landsdowne...have they remit to spend €275k of taxpayers money in whatever circuitous flowchart odyssey scheme. like fupp they do.
where are the Guards? this whole show is yet another bs white collar crime lessons learned exercise unless I start hearing about Gardai and actual criminal investigation.
"How do you work out the payroll?"
"I don't remember"
At last, we are getting to whether or not RT has a contract
All this talk of "clarity, transparency and reform" basically translates as "look we realise we've been found out and we're going to start running the place properly...we promise....kind of."
He cannot invoice RTE if there is no contract.
maybe the barter account
An oral agreement... ah stop. You wouldn't get it in a corner shop.
This is bizzare, they're back to no contract.
How is getting paid if there's no contract.
I wasn't aware she was retiring but she has been awful the last 2 days. Her and Collins have been the worst of them all with interim DG not far behind them.
Finally someone has asked a direct question about the contract.
He doesn't have one.
If they don’t stop hassling them we will end up with 24hrs fixed screen of girl and clown playing x and o.
AK asking the hard and obvious questions around the contract
Hi as above actual earning 515000 euro not 440000 euro so did he lie when he said he was taken a pay cut yes remember if no covid no one would know about the 345000 euro payment so morally corrupt he was trying to have it both ways
Is someone from here WhatsApping Alan Kelly?😀
Good question Alan Kelly. Jesus Rte is making me say well done on a question.
Is anyone actually taking actions here and will the RTE board really respond or just ignore.
And Ronan's already moved to the RTE Gold retirement home. Or is that somebody else...
Dats rite.
Well isn’t Geraldine O Leary retiring soon anyway ? But yeah Ronan Collins looks to be done as he didn’t have a good day yesterday and what I’ve seen of him today, it wasn’t a good innings in the middle.
I hope gov appoints someone new and independent to go in now. Wasn't sure before, it's an extreme measure
But it is needed now imo. Only thing that can salvage any kind of public trust.
Otherwise RTE is fucked as a public entity
Renault must be tearing their hair out at the pronunciation of their name.
CFO on 200k plus....another 25k likely....
He has came across absolutely clueless throughout....bonkers....who hired him?!
Alan will you ask Rory a few questions please.
Cares?
Alan Kelly reading the thread
AK looking for the numbers again - Toy Show the Musical this time.
Toy Show The Musical merch sales should also be included 😂
They've been using a single barter company since 2014
NK was told to invoice Astus London for the consultancy fees so there must have been an on-going relationship with them. It's unlikely they'd pluck a barter exchange company out of the air.
The UK company may well have processed their end correctly but the RTE barter account seems to have been used to bury all kinds of everything, perks, presenter fees, corporate events and god knows what else
Carefully selected for sure :)
