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

He is an employee.
the marty story is stupid. sounds like a deflection piece offered up by RTE to try and dilute the narrative.
Why would he not have to pay tax?
Tubs has managed to screw up the good times in RTE now if the likes of Marty etc have to start cleaning up the dodgy deals they done
Will he be accepted back in by any of the staff at this stage?
You may well be right and if you are I will absolutely say: you were right, but I'm holding fire just yet. In the last few pages I've read that he had to pay VAT/he didn't have to pay VAT, should have paid Tax/didn't have to pay Tax, committed fraud/didn't do anything wrong - so I'm about as skeptical of the expertise of posters on boards, as I am of RTE's business practices.
so was Bertie
Oh hopefully it blows such a hole in RTE finances that they are forced to downsize, cut their costs, and get their finances in order (without the usual begging bowl for TV licence increases).
But this will all ultimately cost the taxpayer more money, although money well spent to nip these dodgy transactions in the bud.
Then it'll be on to the next scandal. Someone mentioned homeless charities before , my money is on that blowing RTE out of the water.
Marty seems to be a decent enough skin, I'd like to think it was just poor judgement and nothing more on his part.
"fake outraged" to a company swindling the public which is been held up and bailed out multiple times by the tax payer. I think you will find nothing "fake" about the outrage with tax payers
Come back and talk down to us after you've learned how to spell " Christmas " !
Yes but he was given a car from work so should have been paying BIK as well.
I expect you will find he isn't paying BIK, loaned the car but was claiming for mileage and for a company car benefit. If he wasn't in his statement he would have clarified all of this. The silence to me would suggest he done all of the above and RTE used it as a wage to increase his salary without having to explain why etc. Similar to Tubs.
And?
Rubbish
Is that the best excuse you can come up with.
MM would be liable for BIK, not RTE.
It'll only cost the taxpayers. And the money is returned to the state. It needs to be fully investigated but the state finances won't benefit one cent at the end of all this.
If he claimed mileage and travel expenses through subsistence which you can on a personal car for work he's in trouble as he didn't own the car. Those expenses and subsistence are paid out tax free.
Will ya go way ouha that. It doesn’t take much these days for folks to be all apologising when trying to appease the fake outraged mob.
Is Marty staff or self employed?
because they got caught....
Considering they are already under investigation by Revenue and already had to hand over millions in relation to undeclared PRSI, I suspect undeclared BIK might also end up costing them quite a bit.
If Marty was doing nothing wrong why did he hand the car back? Surely he could keep if if everything was okay?
Marty might do them for free at time but he's well paid by the women
Well the car was supposed to be RTE so thats a new car, probably every year, so 30k a year before we start looking into BIK etc
The rte board through tubridy,its star player under the bus, and are paying his wages because they don't have a clue whether he is in contract or not. So, they are paying him and his substitute.
It's like Like saipan all over again. Tubridy needs to be on the pitch.
If MM and others in RTE did no wrong why have they apologised?
Based on this article Marty was travelling the country on his Marty Party tour. Now as an RTE employee does not have some complications?
Also during this tour of Ireland was he using his "loaned" car so it was been used to increase his profits on a project outside of his RTE role?
Poor old Marty is up to his neck as far as Tubs

I'm confused by this car "scandal". Was it any cost to rte?
In the current context, where RTE are rightly having government reviews ordered into mismanagement and possible fraudulent practices, how can anybody hear the details of yet another non-standard business arrangement and yet still think there is nothing to it?
He gave the car back the day after Tubridy's payment scandal emerged. In his statement today, he talked about "upon reflection". So he reflected for 24 hours?
