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

A few contradictions in Lynch and Morrissey’s statements:
i’ve heard a different name, I’m just saying don’t be surprised if there’s more than one.
Do any of these fukkers pay for anything? Think of them the next time you're making a car repayment or renewing tax or insurance! Leeches the lot of them!
If I remember right, martys renault also appeared in a series he did about helping out communities with fund raising or something like that. Car appeared in driving scenes etc. All renault promotion.
What about this?
I wonder what would Dr Bill ex Renault Ireland owner Bill Cullen make of it all?
He would certainly say they had some liathróidí on them 😂
You make it sound like he's doing it as a voluntary act. He's RTEs Gaelic Games Correspondent, working out of News and Current Affairs as well as being one of their main commentators for RTE Sport.
He is well compensated for both roles and there are expenses to be claimed to carry out these jobs -as it should be.
It is also true that he does a lot of meet and greets at GAA clubs around the country, as far as I know, for no money.
He is decent and very likeable but taking the use of a free car as an RTE news staffer, in my view is not right.
It shouldn't have been acceptable back in 2018, either.
In the case of that account, no.
Mary's a classy lady. I'm fairly sure I saw her in a BMW before.
I’d say Renault France must be delighted with how the Irish office are running things…..
Is political humour, and satire not funny?
Renault Ire MD to captain of the Stena Foreteller en route to Rosslare from Cherbourg: TURN BACK, TURN BACK!
Are we sure it’s the same car and the same person? Don’t be surprised if there’s more than one.
As for Marty’s self serving statement - I know people who’ve been sacked/let go for less.
That Dr. Harold account is about as funny as discovering a lump in the shower.
Audit the lot, if that was the attitude this is tip of the iceberg.
And if RTE is in any way typical of other state organisations, a good old torch shone elsewhere could reveal a lot of revenue to be collected. Sure can then be directed to a new RTE and scrap the licence.
Wherever you're driving from, from Dubai to Dundalk, from Boston to Ballinasloe, from Singapore to Sixmilebridge. Strap on your seatbelts, you're in for one hell of a ride!
Did Timmy Dooley have the inside track on his fellow Clare man
Long time since I seen this
I must say , I pissed myself laughing when it was Marty hahaha
In my company this would be regarded as a conflict of interest and not permitted. Nothing is free - this car will be paid for directly or indirectly. At the very least it should be disclosed.
Easy known Marty was in Tralee on a Saturday nite in February covering a league match and the day after up in ballybofey .€€€€
Marty is a grafter compared to some of the others in RTE. He travels the length and breath of the country and is thoroughly decent. I wouldn't begrudge him.
Not sure all publicity is good publicity...they are a punchline atm
Calling the Revenue Commissioners!
Time for a Marty audit.
Renault are getting a fair amount of free publicity
Clever move alright. It will still be great TV.
I don't think Tubs can save his RTE career in any way but it will be interesting.
Ahem... small question of BIK. You know that idea where you get perks that have a cash value and you pay tax on them.
Between this and barter accounts - all smells of tax avoidance.
How much more of this sort of stuff is going to come out??
Revenue need to do a full audit of RTE and all who have been paid by them going back as many years as practical & possible.
Ah here. I swear I was scrolling back and back and back and found that snippet by myself. I didn’t see he’d admitted it 😂
Yeah it looks it but things are changing Trump is in some serious 💩 and it looks like RT is too.
Well I wouldnt be surprised if the summer party was cancelled because thats probably for the ordinary low level workers.
The real partys for those at the top will keep going. I mean 2fm hosted a boat party this week with its radio presenters and used a company owned by one by the family of one of their presenters. Of course I'm sure all that went through the proper procurement process and they're definitely wasn't any lavish spending.....
I wonder how many being interviewed by the PAC committee have a tv licence?!
Don't you go dragging the lovely Mary Kennedy into this! 😀
