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

Smell of rat off this
The Musical actually cost less than expected in management, pre-production, rehearsal and running...
Marketing and press for the event actually cost more than DOUBLE what was expected, however.
I think best to not place too much weight on what 13 year olds knocking back pints say....
Yep
Sounds like a veteran of Toy Show the Musical.
But they needed havaiaaaaaanas the clients don't want Penny's that's for the riff raff.
Yes, that makes sense. One downside with making it purely public is losing some of the presenters. BUT that is making big assumptions that there would be easy options for them to jump to. Perhaps they would just be forced to reduce fees?
On the using RTE campus for ad stuff, its mad enough alright. Seems like one of those things that was just a done thing for the few that had the opportunity. There just needs to be a blanket ban on this stuff or RTE basically says that they get an x% cut. Much like research done in Universities and they get a cut.
Project management wouldn't be RTÉ's strong point.
Neither would any sort of management apparently.
.... and then everyone else in the pub stood up and started applauding, carrying the young lads around on their shoulders and chanting "RTE AND TUBRIDY! LEAVE 'EM ALONE OR YOU'LL HAVE TO FIGHT ME!"
Best not to place too much weight on what certain posters pretend they heard.
That’s not very damning at all
Trying to put lipstick on a pig...
Yes, we're so lucky to have such awesome talent on RTE.
And we're so lucky to have you, Soralla on Boards.ie
Tubsidy troller casting even more shade with your silly boll*cks. Be useless, unfunny and as entitled as Ryan frigging Tubridy somewhere else.
They need to get a good few slaps with a pair of havainaaaas 😂
This kind of stuff would be fairly typical for a commercial media organisation I imagine. This mish mash of public/commercial is just a disaster and ends in all of this stuff.
Doreen got the job on the back of the absolute worst comedy in irish history, and I’ve seen graine McGuire
ANOTHER Grant Thornton review has been ordered - this time into spending on Toy Show The Musical
@bureau2009 Thank you for your kind words
.
Grant Thornton are making some serious dosh off of this too. Who pays for that?
You know this story is totally untrue as they are drinking pints and not using a certain white powder.....
Some TV presenters know all about that
OK let's talk about sponsors and personal endorsements.
RTÉ presenters and broadcasters (none of them are stars) are perfectly entitled to accept sponsorships, endorsements and brand ambassadorships for cars and whatever else. Its part of making the best of a short and precarious career.
Many of them also have other work, like podcasts, MC gigs, guest appearances etc. Nothing to do with RTÉ and all fine and dandy, it's a gig economy for all sorts of people.
The problem is, when those endorsements conflict with RTÉ duties, like speaking about them on air, or like Lottie Ryan, doing promo pieces in the Montrose car park.
If anything is to be learned from this, one priority must be to erect Chinese walls between what these presenters do for RTÉ and all their other activities, including personal sponsorship and social media.
It's as much the fault of RTÉ management that these protocols weren't in place before now.
NK and Rt probably own Grant Thorton - is that the Netflix full circle twist?
I would agree to a certain extent - especially as the BBC brought one in in recent memory.
But I don't think the likes of Lottie Ryan should need to be told it's not on filming in the RTE car park. That is just blatant and should be disciplinary action.
Connections to Ian Dempsey. Didn't make it out of sheer talent anyway.
I think you would want to lose most of the presenters for what I am proposing, they would mostly remain with the commercial part if it can afford them. There would be some who are needed for current affairs programs which IMO should be part of the public service remit. I don't think entertainment should be part of it, media has moved on massively since this model was brought in, there are so many other options that people can decide to pay for. I would keep the license fee payable, but I would reduce it significantly since it would be used for the PS part only and wouldn't be paying Lottie's salary or paying for trips to the RWC.
It’s practically an even split between paid guest and free tickets (guests and competition winners). And people doubted my Snowman at the NCH story. 🙄
Siún Ní Raghallaigh tells Government that the RTÉ board's own faith and confidence in the station's senior management is "eroded" by the "deeply unsatisfactory" way in which information is emerging
RTE implicitly confirms Ryan Tubridy will be off-air for NINE months [Newstalk interpret RTE comment to mean 6 mths] but it will be Mar 2024 when the reviews are expected to conclude.
So, taxpayer will pay Tubridy €180,000+ [3/4 of est €250k radio fees] to sit on his bum?
That’s what I’m thinking. This is all way beyond dodgeville. Seems way beyond just professional misjudgment and inappropriateness…
The level of massive six figure sums its actually mafiaesque dodgy and pure corruption…. 345,000 euros in undeclared payments……of the publics money basically ffs !
And that Tubridy all serious and moralising on his shows about items from politics to social issues….. 🤮
Himself and Forbes should end up behind bars, but this being Ireland, I doubt that will transpire.
