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

Last Thursday Face the music was on followed by The best of the Late Late Show.
No I was joking there, but I know what you're saying 🙂 The lines between real and ridiculous are blurring.
Prime Time now stating that NK was invoicing RTE at €1200 per hour.
I dont think thats been answered or asked by PAC.
And then followed by The Story of a Search!
Brilliant haha , would love to think it's a rogue staff member scheduling
Is it becoming clear that their is a legacy culture of abuse and contempt of tax payer funds here?
Also it appears to attract a certain ilk or calibre of person of low moral value from the 6 hours plus I watched over the last 2 days.

I hope it was pissed of staff.
RTE should have given these questions to PAC.
To ask... RTE.
Will any 'stars' leave NK to distance themselves from the scandal?
It's so funny hahahaha we asked Rte for the top 10 transactions. But eh eh they told us to **** off lol
Prime Time journo described some of the spending as grotesque!
This is sivil war (sic)
RTE need a top level clear out. The only person who should remain is the one who called in Grant Thornton. If Martin does not do this more questions will be asked.
Exactly and the thing is that nobody knows yet if the barter account had a separate bank account as the barter account wasn't under the control of the finance department until recently. If it did, all kinds of payments may have gone through it - who authorised them?
Or, it may just have been a register of exchange transactions managed by the commercial department who provided a year-end summary to finance - who knows. It's still a mystery how the barter transactions for 20+ years were recorded and if those figures were included in the annual accounts.
Maybe all will become clear next session of the PAC committee.
The whole fiasco reminds me of the Nuremberg trials. Obviously not in what RTE did but the nature of the trial.
Firstly all stonewalled. Constant pressure led to some admitting bits and pieces. Then infighting began between the pro Goering group and others. Keep probing and the pressure up and they'll reveal more.
We need to know more about Noel Kelly. He dominates who we see on our screen. Too much power.
Has Pat Kenny returned to Newstalk yet?
There's enough material in all this for a Christy Moore song on it.
That's the big Question. Probably requested by Tubridy through Noel Kelly, his agent. Speculation but most likely. Kelly hardly acted with Tubridy having no knowledge.
Sounds about right
BOC €1563 ph
Duffy €1200 ph
D'Arcy €833 ph
C Byrne €700 ph
Nicht Schuldig!
How many of the TV and radio presenters are really going to start asking the difficult questions about NK's influence when they are all represented by him. Such a farce.
We need an Albert Speer. I don't know whether he was a good guy or not or shrewdly read the room.
"Dont forget your crowbar, lockpick, master key, screwdrivers, wire cutters, bolt cutters, torches and balaclava if ya wanna go to work"
If they don't they are tainted by association.
I'm not taking anyones word, I'm questioning 2 stories that are not adding up? I don't know you and I don't know the employee representative at the PAC but the 2 stories don't add up. Simple as that. Are we not allowed question and have to accept everything as fact. This is the reason why we have fiascos like this.
Let me ask you if I put up a story about seeing some employees getting perks and someone else said that employees get no perks who would you believe?
That money was just resting in my... barter account.
Id say theres a few lads and lassies thinking they need a barter account to hide certain spending from oversight of de other half.
Who's going to pay a licence.. Mine is up 31 December and I was always on time bar one year. Well on 8th January I had a serious letter about 'holding and operating a TV illegally'. 8 days..
I do like Mick Clifford. No BS with him.
It'll have to be the Alan Kellys, Stanley etc pushing. Leo made noise too, hope he keeps it up. If politicians see votes in it.
