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

The buck for RTE stops with the govt...... Why no resignations?
Asleep at the wheel while millions squandered..
The bill from this disaster of a folly still grows...8k a year for storage
Are the gang up before the PAC again this week?
You wouldn't think you'd need to explain what a flip flop was.
Hilarious though.
Did Moya Doherty provide free advertising I wonder
Sounds like the e voting machines
The equivalent of 31 TV licences
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.
huh - ghoul
mental health my arse..
The figures on that were eye watering.
Nothing at all, I've done it myself, i was just making a quip at your parking 🅿️
"Have-ee-annie-ah-nus" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The board only smokes rolled 50 quids
And that cost will rise exponentially - as it will compound year on year.
Ahem.......Don't be giving them credit for MY sh1e parking. 🤣
A few skips would be cheaper.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Well that fella is one of the best donkeys around.
Yes, I hope the PAC goes through the madness of this whole thing. That pompous Moya Doherty telling today's committee that she met the producers (RTE staffers apparently) and they're wonderful women. Makes me think she may not have been the brains behind the success of Riverdance.
The idea of RTE getting into the highly risky business of producing a musical while in a financial crisis is bordering on insane
That's not just hindsight. Anyone with a passing knowledge of theatre in Dublin (at Christmas) could probably have told Rory this.
He must be one arrogant man.
Never got to see it. Any use?
Lidl do a good pair of sliders, been wearing them now for more than a year and no rips. I think they cost €5. Better than flip flops in my expert opinion.
Ryan can hold his head up high. Did nothing wrong. Looking forward to hearing him on the airwaves again soon
What were the Jimmy Choo flip flops, they must have thought they were Kim Catrall in sex and the city, I presume Geraldine O Leary attended
The committee debate from the outing today by the Rte top brass(necks) into Leinster house.
