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

How many hours a week does he work
He presents his work for 7 hours per week approximately. How much background work as regards preparation I don’t know. But he absolutely has to prepare. The finished product is 7 hours per week.
but you can’t forget all those books he has to read!!!!!! To then tell us all about on his radio programme
So no bogus invoices from NK then? Do you understand how this all started? It sounds like you don't.
huh? I think you quoted the wrong post.
So you don't know. Cool
Im expecting a Waterford Whispers article where RTE ask Callan to impersonate Tubridy on air and see if anyone cops...
If you watched the PAC recording
The head of corp in RTE advised NK on what to invoice for.
Everyone should read over that sentence a few times.
It's Really important.
No contract. A verbal agreement to discuss a new contract. That's all. No contract.
I certainly do. Defending RT and NK as much as possible.
Why are RTE paying someone for no services provided?
NK. They're on to me.
Because not everyone in RTE is an NUJ member.
Patronising much?
NK isnt an intern... he didnt smell a rat he was being asked to submit a false invoice? Great job there looking after his client.
(A) Not much cop is he? Yet somehow he can get this money for Tubridy from RTE and so many people placed into RTE.
(B) Or in it up to his neck?
Choose one.
I choose B.
It does not matter what they advised. NK submitted a bogus invoice for services he did not provide.
Why do they need to be an NUJ member to show solidarity with thier colleagues and let RTE know how offended they're?
brilliant
I’m not fooking rainman.
Thank you. Much appreciated. Makes more sense now.
It's no NK's responsibility to smell anything.
A company oued his client money.
The company requested an invoice be sent.
He sent it.
RTE advised on what to put on the invoice.
RTE are the problem here.
There was a contract in place where the contract was to be paid service provided or not
RTE requested it to fulfill contract.
Don't ask me, I don't work there, but it wouldn't be the first time. That's how they got into this mess in the first place.
You're bang on.
That's how RTE got into this mess in the first place.
Where did you get that information if you do not mind me asking, or is that just how you believe it went?
The version I believe is that RT/NK during contract negotiations, kept threatening to leave the station when it wasn't going their way.
Then other NKM clients were brought into those negotiations. There is no question that RTE found it hard to negotiate with NK, but it wasn't because he is an excellent negotiator. He is ruthless, and has no problem using other clients in negotiations.
One of Dee Forbes first tasks was to negotiate Tubs contract under those circumstances, and she was aware Tubs was considered one of RTE's prize presenters by those in RTE. She was between a rock and a hard place, and those around her were no help. She wasn't great herself. NK is finished with RTE once the current contracts are finished. RT is finished with RTE as of now. As CEO of his own company that signed off on that contract, he has nothing to come back with, and nor should anyone care.
It means we may finally get some real talent into the RTE studios, get rid of the milkers and hangers-on and maybe even see a reduction in the licence fee 🤣.
RT has made his grubby greedy bed, and now he can lie in it. It looks like NK's daughters foray into celebritydom is on the back burner for now.
If RT is brought back after this, there would be uproar, and rightly so. It looks like he will be able to start on the nerdy projects, books, documentaries and history a little earlier than expected.

Yeah, saw Maia Dunphy shilling for Tubridy a while back, and Claire Byrne with her 'crocodile tears'.
Both of 'em are NK Acolytes.
I'd say if Tubridy is thrown out with the bathwater, Kelly has lost his most prominent client, and while he's already had his reputation damaged, there'd be no coming back from Tubridy getting fired. The rest of his clients would probably cut ties to save their reputation.
Also, with all the talk about RTE staff getting cars, what about the brand deals for their 'stars'?
Case in point, Kathryn Thomas. (Yep, her agent's NK).
A few years ago, she was promoting for Jaguar.
And last year, she was promoting Range Rover.
Wonder if RTE will have to be upfront about the deals it's presenters have with advertisers and organizations, to name a few.
Which specific part are you referring to ?
We are going around in circles here. In the long run, only the gardai can decide who was at fault, and hopefully they will become involved soon.
Submitting a bogus invoice in order to gain funds from a public company is potentially a very serious offence. It does not matter if the receiver knows it was false or the submitter knew it to be false. Both are equally implicated.
Why pretend you know how many hours he doesn't do
That’s if you believe RTE. I don’t.
Also, why would they continue to pay him?
Has the Sunday Times got a story?
Of course it is his job. To look after his clients. He entirely failed here didnt he?
And is becomig clear - he didnt smell the rat cos he helped it put it there
But hey based on the amoral if its legal all is fair in business line... Tubridy has no one else to blame but himself. He engaged an incompetent or corrupt agent.
Noted again you ran away from the questions put to you about Tubridys statement which are fundamental to this point. Conclusion you wont answer cos it holes your argument below the waterline.
