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

So no-one would ever advertise in RTE unless induced to do so? No-one at all?
So something similar to Katherine Thomas’s mother who was near the twin towers years before they were attacked ?
You could be right.
Another poster a few days ago suggested this RTE circus was to detract attention from other things - maybe they were right. Depends on how much the total losses / mismanagement comes to.
The RTE losses may well pale into insignificance when compared to other losses incurred by government departments. One example was the Oireachtas spending committee heard yesterday that 150m has been lost on abandoned transport projects but that's a government department so no board or semi-state employees to beat up about that.
Listen to the first two minutes (if you can manage it) lots of flip flop chat. This man is current top paid person in RTE..
Who can listen to this absolute bollocks and think...yeah this guy is worth 351k a year!
You can but it will depend on how quickly the Oireachtas website puts it up.
be gas if someone rang up joe duffy tomorrow asking "wheres my flip-flops joe?"
Havianas, dahling, for the luvvies' precious tootsies.
One couldn't put one's best foot forward in cheap flip flops or, heaven forbid, bring their own.
Will be on the archive probably tomorrow
Oireachtas committee meeting live stream – Houses of the Oireachtas
Adrian Lynch said he couldn't name the person because of GDPR. Hiding behind something he knows nothing about. That is not a GDPR issue. Such an easy excuse though along with "commercially sensitive", "legal matter" and "I don't recall".
‘Loddy’ Ryan will be on the Dublin bus to work this week!!
Is Tony not paid directly from the ministry of propaganda in Brussels?
No, it's was Paula Lambert. It seems it was made in his neck of the woods and that's their claim to fame.
37 TV Licences. To buy 200 pairs of flip flops. For a party.
there are levels. And most of us are not on that level.
?? But she wasn't there to check forklifts, she was there to check out the centre, what's the problem?
Serious question - was Eugene Murphy Bosco?
He seemed to be talking along them lines or had some link.
Nothing of any real significance was ever going to come of it, no more than it did from the numerous tribunals and investigations of previous scandals in the past.
This is theatre. It's distraction from the far more serious issues facing this country and allowing the Government to breathe a sigh of relief for as long as it continues.
Player maybe.
So 30 or so people's license fee went on flip flops. My God.
If any of them smoke they must be dying for a cigarette.
Tubridy no payment in the last month.
Not aware that Tubridy or agent asked for record to be corrected on published pay.
Benefit in kind for the cars could be a bigger issue when detail comes out...
And probably phones it in!
They should have had a break for an hour midway, too long to be running the thing without a proper break.
The last few hours were shite. Soft ball questions. Feel deflated that nothing will come of this now.
Why is Murphy constantly throwing in a "I was in the industry too" reference every chance he gets.
The chair needs to be replaced though. Far too fawning to the attendees at times.
Senator Eugene Murphy..
What a tosser...Seanad should have been gone by now...but hey gravy train up choo choo.
grr I didn't get to see any of the meeting - can I watch it back anywhere?
Was it the same car that was loaned for 5 years or was it a car that got replaced with a newer model every year for 5 years? Can't see too many of RTE's talent rocking up to Montroe in a 181D reg.
I started compiling a list of the news correspondents a few years ago to try and figure out how many correspondents they had, and I got to 59 by the time I gave up….
this list is about 2 years old so some will have moved around and some will have moved on, but still, 59 correspondents!!! That’s mental!!
Geraldine OLearys attitude stinks....smugly pointing out she is retiring in 8 weeks (with a huge pension)
Stand back!
