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

I think while there's probably little or no actual fraud there's definitely a whole lot of incompetence and bad ineffective management couples with a DG who thought the decisions began and ended with her.
That CFO is a complete tosser. He couldn't remember when he started in that position.
I would in a fairly harmless job, and I remember to the minute when I started. And it wasn't yesterday.
God, what a bunch of halfwits.
Fire them all. Start again. Clean out the deadwood and have the government pass proper legislation to control both the running of the place and an actual cap on salaries and mo bloody extras. Let them pay for their own car. Most of us manage.
Was RTE being ran at the taxpayers expense for the benefit of a few people who believe they're better than they actually are? Seems so.
It's not so much a Garda investigation as the revenue.
NK says he got the money for advice but Tubbers got the money ,so who paid tax on it.
think the pronunciation is havinuson
but in seriousness, I love my Havainas, the rolls Royce of the flip flop.
and sure we couldn’t have the Montrosians and their guests traipsing around in chavainas, that go flip flip instead of flip flop now could we. Appearances dahlings, both deceptive and everything.
Yes. She was at home in Carlow on 9/11 but had visited NY in the 1990s so has a miraculous and lucky escape….like all the other tragedies she’s almost been killed in by virtue of having visited them once in the decade preceding said tragedy. Always good for a puff piece in the rags though when Kathryn tells us all how lucky her mother has been…..again.
Would be good if more storage and associated contracts were looked at.
Their mobile units located around country need secure lockups at night.
Heard of a very healthy figure one guy was getting in the West some years ago.
Could be kosher, but static storage contracts are one of the ultimate "money for nothing" scenarios.
A few skips would be cheaper.
Ahem.......Don't be giving them credit for MY sh1e parking. 🤣
And that cost will rise exponentially - as it will compound year on year.
The board only smokes rolled 50 quids
"Have-ee-annie-ah-nus" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nothing at all, I've done it myself, i was just making a quip at your parking 🅿️
The figures on that were eye watering.
huh - ghoul
mental health my arse..
On Toy Show : The Musical, €2.5m was a massive initial outlay on a brand new Irish based musical. They were engaging in very risky behaviour with such amounts of money - most new musicals would be launched on a fraction of that budget.
You didn't miss much. Mental health card played early doors when a question was thrown at her about the husband accompanying her on trips and that was that. She almost had nothing to say for rest of afternoon.
The equivalent of 31 TV licences
Sounds like the e voting machines
Did Moya Doherty provide free advertising I wonder
You wouldn't think you'd need to explain what a flip flop was.
Hilarious though.
Are the gang up before the PAC again this week?
The bill from this disaster of a folly still grows...8k a year for storage
The buck for RTE stops with the govt...... Why no resignations?
Asleep at the wheel while millions squandered..
cheers - I really wanna see Geraldine O'L in action.. see if she has any shame at all..
5 year car loan? Who paid insurance, tax, nct, servicing? And any tax on bik?
Revenue also need to send someone into RTE.
I suppose it's a bit of a lesson of what can happen when stuff goes sideways.
Ultimately almost everyone there on the RTE side is earning north of 200k per annum with other associated perks no doubt. Generally they've had very safe gigs over the years and plenty exit routes available to them. The politicians don't see anywhere near the perks and can easily be out on their ear, I suppose when they opportunity is there it has to be taken.
I am not sure about some of the to and fro ing around whether a Garda investigation is warranted in relation to fraud with RTE saying the legal advise they have received is that no fraud has taken place.
Surely the standard practice is that there is a full investigation by the Gardai or the OCE and they compile the evidence, present to the DPP and the DPP makes a call on whether an attempt to prosecute is warranted?
Without a full investigation it is not possible to make those calls so I have no idea what the legal advise is actually based on......which would make you question any excuses about legal advice.
Wow! Just wow! What other weird things do you do?
An ad for Riverdance during the 6 One News.
You couldn't make it up!
You don't send someone who hasn't a clue about forklifts into a forklift centre to see if there are adequate arrangements in place for it to continue to be a FAS approved training centre. If she doesn't know that the pointy things on the front of the forklift are the forks, she's hardly going to know if the aisles are wide enough, is the chicane set up correctly, is there industrial racking etc. You send in an inspector who knows what to look for in a forklift training centre.
I know nothing about bookkeeping. Would you send me into RTE to see if their accounts are in order?
OMG I thought this was a joke but no true "€5,000 for 200 pairs of Havainas flip flops for a summer party for corporate clients in 2016" what about going bare foot or Penneys hun
