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

Warfield should have stuck with the family band instead of trying his hand at politics. Red raw useless.
It seems to be the same people from all the other meetings....
Oh god.....
Wasn't the LLS Musical a Coveneny idea/project?
Why is he yet again not being grilled?
It'll be a speech ..outrageous ...insult to the public ....not too many questions ...can't wait ;)
I’ve been offline for a while but a great line there to Coveney re. Toy Show The Musical. “it seems these figures weren’t commercially sensitive, but rather personally sensitive”.
she looks like someone you look for protection from in a women's prison.
Looks like someone you see in Orange is the new Black
wow
What bit of "we have to go and vote in the Chamber" did your man not hear?
Do your feckin duty (and allow others to go and do theirs) and stop grandstanding!
More later? Is there a session tomorrow? Tesla might want to sponsor it.
I think we know that answer to that.
I can't stop asking myself - "who else in the State Sponsored Sector is up to similar shenanigans?" Can't help thinking about that when you look at the list of them. And the Racing Board were up the other day and announced "financial irregularities" or something like that.
I dunno, is it just me who is totally cynical about these quasi Independent state (you and me) sponsored entities?
Interesting. Nothing really nee bar the car.
Gone to press a few buttons and have a leak. Or gather a few leaks..
Not much today .
Cars being kept while car allowances ongoing. 1 case .
Breda as former CFO nothing to see in her tenure.
Whistleblower AnneO'Leary locked in an office somewhere but had her laptop with her so still managing to get her spake in .
Soho club being used for meetings in London .
Row in the last few minutes between chair of committee and a td who wouldn't get off and proceedings stopped .
We got Mattie but no RBB , small mercies.
Strong performers Griffin, Sherlock and Dooley.
Mattie and Peter, 10min of waffle.
I would expect the presenter who broke the rules on the car loan to come forward in the pursuit of truth and transparency.
O’Leary said she paid for her and her husband’s flights and accommodation to Chicago,
The tickets I take it then were free?
Moya Doherty, is she a clone of Darina Allen? A terribly condescending person. Rest of the board ok.
€120millon net worth can buy a lot of things including a new accent! No more of "Aye that's wild sad surely " Donegal stuff!
Think Dooley had a good 'game plan'. Start softly, lull into confidence, then throw a few curveballs.
New troll.
Why aren't we hearing more about these barter accounts and details of who was on each side of the transactions? Who accrued benefit, was there any loss to the taxpayer and/or Revenue etc.
It's as if this lot had a chat yesterday morning and made up their questions/ speeches.
When are this lot in front of the PAC next?
And when Tubridy and Kelly come in to Leinster house, which committee will they be in front of?
Rte spent 5k on flip flops and 2.2 million on a flop flop. What next? I think they’ll be able to make a musical out of this whole sad saga.
It was a crystal clear case of not knowing your audience. The toy show had at degenerated into a telethon musical under tubridys direction and remained popular - not understanding that it was all parents with their children nostalgia watching. When I was a child, the only thing I was interested in was the toys, I can't imagine that today's children are greatly entertained by the music.
The musical live show didn't have that heritage for the nostalgia audience, was expensive, had a grim story and had no toys. Who would go to that?
When a culture of freebies, notions above station, and so on set in, it's very difficult for any individual to swim against the tide. I'd remember that with every individual.
Can someone not join up at a particularly interesting time I'm topical affairs without being labelled a troll?
She will not appear again ..medical note , poor thing . So probably will retire on sick leave .
She’s the supreme leader, of course she’s condescending
