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

Her airs and graces would rot ya.
Brendan Griffin has absolutely filleted them again this week
Griffin and Munster have been really good so far
Collins certainly comes across like that. Just that smirk from Adrian Lynch when he was saying he couldn't remember if they got the sponsor first or pitched the programme first. Surely he would know.
That’s the way things go these days. Insane OTT knee-jerk reactions. Folks desperately searching for and wanting to find “impropriety.” People love aggro.
Im waiting for some of the board to be lifted ou’ve it for not putting their cups in the dishwasher in the canteen next.
Hes in bits , it's not nice to watch him being questioned today really .
Rory Coveney confirms that the advertising of the Toy Show Musical on RTE services was "free". He doesn't estimate its notional or displacement value, but people outside RTE have estimated it was worth €500k+.
So the true loss on the Musical is close to €3m.
He's very dogged, but tends to keep firing questions at them and not letting them speak - which isn't the greatest if you want to hear the explanations.
Awful lot of dry throats on the RTE side of the room today.
I find the line of questioning is very unfair
Geraldine has developed an attitude this week. She was all meek and tried to appear helpful last week although it was nonsense.
Hiding behind the couch watching this
Is Imelda actually thick? I'm no apologists for barter accounts but I think I understand the principles
Accusing the board of contempt is just not OK
The barter account was used to trasnfer money in an underhanded manner so they wouldn't have to declare Tubridy's real salary.
It was used to buy tickets for events that they shouldn't have been at.
It really is that simple.
False invoicing is a criminal matter.
Imelda is acting the maggot here - I am not happy.
They'd want to be a bit careful with their line of questioning. Think of the blowback from Angela Kerins.
Fair play to him for turning up. But he is out of his depth, doesn't come across as confident or as well prepared as the previous CFO. The previous CFO is what I would expect from a finance person. Having the facts and being able to lay them out.
Someone should have asked him what would the barter value of those slots be!
They had an ad during every single ad break of LLS during December, a single 30 second ad would cost circa €10k plus for those slots.
Imelda is correct.
Invoices were raised for services that were not provided.
Why is this clown constantly trying to say its not public money
They are constantly looking for top up because they burn their money from tv license
Moya " nobody told me " !
Did she never ask where the money from the junkets were coming from at a time when RTE was cutting jobs and programmes ?
I don't buy that level of head in the sand " I'm only a figurehead being paid a sxxxload " rhetoric .
O'Leary skewered. "That's my truth".
She is not offering a strong defence.
Bonkers stuff
Meghan and Harry's "my truth"
The only people who like the toy show are the gay Byrne generation forcing it on their disinterested kids
Geraldine is shook here.
I wonder what was in store for the RTE Staff BBQ that they cancelled?
"He doesn't bring me to his workplace"
Is a savage line
Have Geraldine and Imelda have the same jacket on?
