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

Prime Time on holiers?
Surely the board has to be sacked.
What's the point of a minister.
Out filming a promo for Avonmore Milk in the carpark
I wouldn’t trust the findings of any forensic accountants based in this country
the tent is too small
bring outsiders in with no connections in this country to open the books in RTE
Fittest family is an excellent show.
We need to see the detail of these secret barter accounts.
What presenters benefited.
They run the big barter account off the small barter account and the small barter account off the big barter account and it saves them the shame of having to fill out the forms with the money resting in their accounts 😁
Tomorrow's Oireachtas meeting will be full of fun.
Funny the way RTE board never mentioned that last week with an opportunity of transparency.
The game is afoot.
"further"...accounts...jeepers...how many I wonder...head should roll, but I wouldn't count on it.
Bound to happen really, those huge Eurovision jaunts aren't cheap for a start.
Catherine Martin loving the attention, I literally forgot she had existed.
……..
Is that not one of the reason that RTE uses the services of self-employed people so they don't have to make people redundant and then re-hire them for more programmes? RTE would be crazy to employ every actor or presenter as a full time staffer with all the rights and costs that goes with that.
I am no fan of any of the 'talent' and can take them or leave them but our media reports and public representatives need to stop talking about the salaries / pay / wages of the 'talent'. All those people are self employed, are free to work on other projects outside of RTE just the same as any other self-employed person can pick and choose the work they want and set the price they want to charge. If the customer agrees to the price and T's & C's, there is a contract for those services. If one party wants to vary the contract, the other party must agree.
Not saying for a minute that I agree with the amount that the 'talent' charge RTE for their services, but if RTE wanted to change Tub's contract back in 2012 and he didn't agree, they should have come up with a different solution to bridge the money gap instead of telling Tub's agent to raise false invoices to the UK barter company. Whoever came up with that mad scheme needs to hold their hand up.
RTE keep lying.
One for everyone in the audience NKM
Quelle surprise. Was that under the control of the commercial department too I wonder or did each section in RTE have their own barter company account?
Agreed, yet there was talks of RTE axing it I think, bizarrely.
Special mention tomorrow for Toy Show The Musical, can't wait.
Barter accounts linked to toy show the musical, will we find out how much that mad folly has cost I wonder, I am guessing million plus wasted.
No heads should roll or resignations accepted until all investigations are complete. Put them on gardening leave but make sure that they can't do a Dee Forbes and trot off into the sunset.
The Toy Show the Musical which is indirectly linked with Tubridy.
I suspect it relates to much more than this musical.
Some **** show… just in time for tomorrows Oireachtas Committee
The money went somewhere
follow it
True dat
To be fair to Tubs, he disassociated himself from the musical very early on.
If you have a barter account and I have barter account and they all have barter accounts, we can all barter together. One big barter gang bang.
This is high-jinks fraud.
