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

Think of those posts as the intermission.
If there is a question of Tubs resigning from LLS as he knew what the auditors had found (the March time line), is it possible that the potential Rte presenters who were deemed to be in the running actually ran a mile from it, knowing what was coming down the tracks?
The Baboon knew well what was happening and was happy to go along otherwise he woulld have went to RTE and said ' why am I getting all this extra money?'
Hi Soprolla. Welcome back.
You are mistaken.
i neither work in, nor am I connected to the national broadcaster in any way whatsoever.
Tubs will never be back on RTE TV, radio or podcasts.
The onus is on him to establish he was not implicated in the setup of this ploy of deception which benefitted him.
That's not how it works, it's never been how this works.
Take a look at the link below:
There is also a constitutional guarantee, that every person accused of a[n] [...] offence in Ireland is innocent until proven guilty. When you are charged [...] a[n] [...]offence, the responsibility of proving your guilt lies with the prosecution. Therefore, no responsibility lies with you, the accused, to prove your innocence.
They can't as they are RT and NKM acolytes.
They were all forewarned by their agent NKM who is also Ryan's agent.
100 percent.
Tubs definitely knew what was coming. That's the only reason he stepped down. To suggest otherwise is to treat us mere mortals as fools. But that is happening daily at this point by RTE and it's representatives.
I believe as the timeline moved on it became obvious that the auditors were involved, and internal staff were most likely giving the LLS a wide berth.
This isnt a criminal case. Or are you implying RTE but not RT have a criminal case to answer?
He has destroyed his asset - his brand. Reputational damage. You dont have to commit a crime to do that. Just be found out participating in a grubby little stroke accepting under the counter payments at the publics expsense. Payments setup in a deceitful way, invoiced with a false description... to avoid legitimate scrutiny.
Bosco is more talented then all of them. Dee Forbes was afraid she would be the CEO blamed for losing RT if she didn't pay him what his agent asked. How anyone can think RT is a talented broadcaster is beyond me. He has the personality of a plank of wood.
Posters need to remember that the CFO Richard Collins is only the CFO since 2020. He insisted on bringing the Barter Account under control of the central finance apartment. This seemed to have happened in 2022 so the first accounts were audited early this year and the issue arose.
Should he have been more forceful....yes. However I lay more blame on the longer term executives who have been on the board for 5+years. I think some of these must have know what was going on especially the one over the BA
Any connections to NKM?
0.5/10
If RTE are accused of criminality (which I actually don't doubt they eventually will be), Tubridy will be as much a victim as anyone else of the grubby little stroke pulled by RTE. They are the ones who tarnished his reputation.
This scandal is very convenient for the coalition.
Ha ha ha that's very funny.
He ruined his own reputation with both his actions and his inaction.
It's a pity this much isn't obvious to you.
And by the way, it was RTE that provided the platform in he first place to make him the best paid person at the station for years, as well as rake in any side gigs.
If he's victim why has he gone to ground? If it's as straightforward as you're claiming then surely he could easily talk his way out of this.
He tarnished his reputation by lying, saying we are all in this together whilst secretly getting a pay rise.
Yep, and that is the most unfortunate thing in all of this.
It's a serious distraction from the issues that effect everyone.
I'm here to discuss the facts, not speculate on Ryan's thought processes.
Do the well known RTE members of NK stable actually need an agent to get a gig with RTE? Sure they could just rock up to the office and say "c'mere to me, I'm brilliant, giz a new contract" Win, win no agent's fees for either RTE or the gigger.
Admittedly I am highly under educated when it comes to ahem, showbiz, so I welcome your put downs on my eminently sensible suggestion.
Ah look, it's clear 99% of the folks posting on here have no love for RTE or Tubridy. This latest thing is just the icing on the cake. At the end of the day, he's loaded and will walk away. Best case scenario, Kielty will be going on in the background when we're checking in on our parents on the odd Friday night.
Again, why is he off air?
There is a whole thread on our inept government. I post on it all the time. Why don't you skoot on over there if this thread is too much for you.
If RT is innocent why has he not come out and given us his side of the story? If you see a story with a source close to Ryan says, that is NKM trying to control the narrative.
We need to hear and see directly from RT's mouth not his agent.
The facts on this are pretty obvious. His thought process isn't, it's a pity he won't come out and justify his actions.
He has probably been advised not to speak in case he implicates himself in the whole cluster fu*k.
