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

So that's Nuala Carey sorted. You just forgot to mention the hair, make-up and dress allowance as well......
...and that Louth fella loose to get a slap around the head,
Listen heor you hai, not just Louth, but da Town. An I'll tell you hai, I'll have aur-fella sort you out so I will
Unbelievable stuff der, I mean, what's goin on hai? Unbelievable stuff - If I did that in da Town, well it wouldn't end well, unbelievable stuff hai , eh?
Think they said it's a staffer, which is slightly more interesting
The gleeful way Lynch said 'Not yet.' when asked if Tubridy would be back on radio next week or soon, nearly made me get sick.
Not only will I never pay my license again, if that cretin gets back on, I'm getting a dodgy box.
I suspect it’s him too…..not to worry he has that scooter he got from bono….
That's actually great writing of the Louth accent😁
The car person is rumoured to be Lottie Ryan.
It’s a staffer and from a very narrow pool that Lynch couldn’t name as it would likely identify them. You’d have to assume it’s someone on the Exec. I know who I suspect it is.
I can just hear his voice coming back on the radio in September
"Its been a turbulent summer for reasons that you or truth be told, I could never fully understand. Radios were switched off, children cried over the lost Toyman, a nation struggled to understand the complexities of creative media accounting. But here we are and we are all friends again. That's just life and the show will go on" 🤮
Lotti I’d say

For anyone wanting to see what happened today this YouTube channel seems to put up Oireachtas videos and has put up some parts of the committee debate today. It’s split between individuals TD’s and Senators.
The soon departed DIrector General?
Wouldn't surprise me if commercial paid for it through a barter account - then paid U2 the same amount at an interest of 35 percent of course - then delivered it to U2 to give it to RT.
It's interesting how highly paid supposedly important and intelligent people, pull out the mental health card when they're under pressure.
It’s not Tubridy. Tubridy is not staff.
Michael Carrigy on Tonight Show now saying Tubridy not promoting Toy Show The Musical should be investigated and this may have contributed to it failing. Talk about being deluded, the project was fooked from the start with clowns in RTE thinking the 'winning formula' of the TV show would work in a jaysus big scale musical. What would Ryan have done, waffle after each ad break on his radio show already featuring the TSTM ad to put it even more down people's throats?
Never in the history of Irish media has an event being promoted as much, they still couldn't even break even. I calculated that if each ticket that was sold went for an additional €200 they would have just broke even.
This board or anyone on it shouldn't be allowed to bring in their own man. This Bakhurst guy can't be brought in - he's one of them. A friend.
The board should be drawn on everything - all information got - then dismissed without pension.
This tweet 😂
That's probably a digitally signed contract. Companies like DocuSign provide this kind of service to businesses. People signing a contract or document can use an uploaded image of their signature or just a software generated signature. There are no pens involved. The dates are the interesting aspects because there will be a trail.

I don't think it is, her deal with TLM seems to have just begun in 2021.
It’s NOT Lottie Ryan or any one of the NKM crew. Some of them have cars as part of brand ambassadorial deals and that’s completely separate from what’s being discussed here.
This is a STAFF member with a car “on loan” from a car manufacturer or dealership - something completely different from a brand ambassadorial arrangement.
Sorry I meant to add - from what I gather this person who is the staff member with the “loaned” car MAY also be in receipt of a car allowance. This will be a revenue issue for BIK if this is the case.
How would the public exercise their current legal right to boycott RTE in that scenario?
I honestly didn't even know TSTM was a thing and I live in D4 and would be at events in the city centre a lot. Didn't see or notice a single advertisement for it.
I've seen adverts for The Lion King, Hamilton etc on buses and billboards. Never seen TSTM.
I don't watch RTE much though. Maybe it was just heavily advertised there.
My money is on somebody in GOL's dept. Probably a relative of somebody in there. a twentysomething or possibly thirtysomething year old who's mammy or uncle got them the job. My money is also on GOL having the stickiest fingers. Being responsible for the most spending out of the slush fund, no matter how she tries say it is normal and that spending needs to be done to attract the billions she is bringing in (not RTE, her). She seems to have been dipping her sticky fingers into it as often as she could instead of using the normal funds - most likely because she knew a lot of it would not be approved.
As for her 'plus one' policy that allows her husband to join her on these business trips, I would love to know to amount in total it cost to bring him everywhere, and if he was the deciding factor when it was decided where to bring the 'clients'. Commercial depts should not be allowed near public money or politicians hell bent on spending public money in some lame attempt to make them look good.
Every bit of questioning seems to go back to her and now she is crying mental health. Fck that and grill her until she bleeds.
Yeah I am surprised they didn't ask GOL after asking Mr. Nice But Dim
If they actually advertised it outside of RTE it would be over 3 million in the red
Actually is there anything in their remit about how much advertising they can do for their own frivolities, I mean TSTM was advertised in every single advertising slot on the radio
Same GOL slipped when she said "I generated 1.65bn
She said it as if that entitles her to do whatever she wanted with the slush fund account and I genuinely think she believes that. As often with these things it's starts small, and then goes to a bit more and a bit more until the cumulative sum is massive amounts and the culprit deludes themselves that they deserves it.
Before all this I never found him remotely charismatic. There are very few charismatic TV presenters compared to years ago. His Toy Show is good and he is the face of the fundraising. Let's see if all that money went to where it was supposed to now . . .
...
Yeah she believes that she herself brought in that 1.65 billion.
They're on another planet.
