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

What rumours are you hearing about Marty? PM me
Double post
classic. rte should be made choose between the 2.
why not try to increase commercial cos fees are gonna drop? cos fees dont require any output or viewership.
i'll happily pay a licence if there are no ads like bbc.
rte has become too bloated.
hopefully this results in a change, but i doubt it very much.
the politicians have no appetite for it either which is an issue
Personal attacks you say?
Quite.

RTÉ Procurement Policy Statement
RTÉ is committed to providing the broadest range of value for money, quality content and services for all ages, interests and communities (See RTÉ Vision Mission Values in the Inside RTÉ section). So achieving value for money in the procurement of works, supplies and services is essential to support its work in providing high quality service to the public in a cost effective and efficient manner. RTÉ complies with the EU Procurement legislation and Irish Procurement Guidelines published by the Department of Finance. The guiding principles are objectivity, transparency, fairness and equality of treatment.
On Primetime tonight they were already starting with the requirement to increase & reform the licence fee to fill the void that will be left from the predicted drop in advertising revenue after this, where sponsors distance themselves from the RTE brand.
So it looks like almost predictably the first port of call is to hit the public for funding rather than cut costs to suit the **** show they have landed themselves in.
One very simple question for Marty Morrissey to be asked ... "when was the last time you purchased a car for yourself"
Get popcorn, sit back..
sort of.
he will have a vat liability to revenue if his sales exceed his purchases (for the most part).
and he aint purchasing goods/products/services to add value to on-sell making him VAT neutral.
it is more likely a company he owns that may have a vat exposure to revenue.
i am presuming he has breached the vat registration threshold.
so the 1 transaction re the car is most likely vat neutral, all the sales to rte should have vat included as part of the invoice.
he is a subbie i think?
To conrinue the Mafia vibe there will be a lot of connected though not made people in the Dublin media looking for a step up now that some RTE made people are in trouble. Also Ballsy could see his RTE salary being capped if new salary rules are introduced. The most interesting thing about a scandal like this is that it is like a KAL007 event for media and "talent" networks, Back in the Cold War, the Soviets show down a Korean airliner and killed everyone on board. However, it lit up the Soviet communications system and the West learned a lot about the Soviet air force and defence. Watching for favourable pieces and defences of RTE in the media could be interesting,
There might be a good media studies/sociology or even Statistics paper on the frequencies of appearances by "talent" represented by various agents on the LLS and the decline in audience figures as people got tired of seeing the same faces again and again. What made the LLS under Gaybo was its sheer unpredictability and the professionalism of Gaybo.

Lets not hone in on someone's weight.
You have been describe as a top talent, what is your top talent?
And how on earth have you managed to hide it for so long?
The car thing has been going on for decades
I wonder who paid the annual motor tax, insurance & maintenance costs for the vehicle while on "loan" to Marty.
I didn’t watch it, what did she say?
What in hell has this got to do with the discussion? 🙄
“Also, saw Stefanie Preissner on the Tonight Show, and wow, she has piled the weight back on. She's back to her heaviest.”
Absolutely. They are so many who seem to really think the rte job entitles them to a lot of freebies. It's a culture.
It's very hard to change the culture in an organisation, workplace, county teams, football clubs. Usually a core element have to be rooted out.
It's all going to come out with RTE.
The car thing doesn't even seem that bad with respect to the rot that's been exposed further up. It just seems like typical 'cute hoor'-ism that we all know goes on up and down this country since time immemorial. I'm sure our Marty could write several volumes about all the favours and backhanders he's been offered or promised by gregarious red-faced men in countless GAA club bars since the 1980s or whenever he became a celebrity.
Considering all the folks who were walking around RTE, smelling their own flatulence, and espousing the wonders of an electric car (looking at you Prime Time hosts), wouldn't surprise me if there are many, many 'free' cars.
Also, saw Stefanie Preissner on the Tonight Show, and wow, she has piled the weight back on. She's back to her heaviest.
Also, she was essentially acting as a PR for RTE, and attacked Imelda Munster who she claimed 'was tryin to start a bar fight'. Even the folks on the panel, with no dog in the fight, were very quick to defend Imelda. Claire Brock even defended her, as she wasn't there to defend herself. (It's Cowardly, imo, to attack an individual on a public media platform, when they are not there).
Ms Munster has to go to mattresses on RTE because they've lied at every available opportunity
Thomas changes her car ambassadorial deals so often it’s genuinely hard to keep up. She’s been through Audi, Volvo, Renault, Jaguar, and now this!
Why even one of these brands would want her after she’s already extolled the virtues of another is beyond me, but she must have a good agent. Oh, wait…..
NKM promo account or just a deluded individual, I just can not decide which.
On one hand you seem to have skin in the game with your vehement defence and big upping of NKM
On the other hand an agent would want this to fade away, hmmm, actually that fits with the "nothing to see here" thing you have going on.....
Isn’t VAT designed to be paid by the end user. So everyone else in the supply chain pays and reclaims the VAT including Renault. But the end user is supposed to pay the VAT that the Revenue ultimately keeps.
In this case, Marty is the end user as, whatever spin he puts on it, he got the car as “payment”. But because he never paid a cent for it, the Revenue actually got nothing out of it. Or am I misunderstanding VAT?
The person I’ve been told the car Lynch referred to as having been returned this week is not Marty Morrissey, I post last evening that there’s more than 1 person caught up in this.
The drip feed is going to continue. It's serious with such poverty around yet, naturally, it does amuse.
Last week we knew nothing of flip flops and the Marty car.
RT and NK will be well prepared. But neither have never been in a situation like this. Anything could happen there. Also many of the RTE 'talent' are paranoid at this stage they know someone knows their story and don't know who will talk. Investigative journalism will continue. The slow drip is annoying many people, but this type of scenario causes people to crack, like Marty's guilt over the car. It's all breaking down. And like all things it'll end up every man for himself.
Sigh.
To think this story broke because RTE was so committed to sorting out Ryan Tubridy, of all people.
"Oh, my God, we can't lose Ryan. BBC Radio 8 Border Regions is showing a strong interest. He's our top celeb. We need to get him that money."
He has no exceptional broadcasting talent whatsoever. Fair enough, he's been around the business so long that he knows where the cough button is on the radio and how to manage a show's order, but he's fundamentally lacking in any kind of wit, authority, charm or relatability. He's massively over achieved in his career by correctly identifying RTE's enduring obsession with mediocrity, where the good stuff the channel has done has been due to creative people doing stuff before RTE noticed and tried to shoehorn in Amy Huberman.
We can only hope that this scandal prompts a MAJOR restructuring of the organisation. I want them to revert to only one form of funding, firstly, and stop with the insane conflict of interest which their hybrid model generates. Let them make do. If it means broadcasting for only 6 hours a day and the kids TV is a sock puppet, so be it.
Timmy Dooley is a Clare politician, so he'd want to be really sure that Marty is not liked in his voting area to go after him. Maybe that's' why he is clarifying or maybe not... who knows...I'm not sure if Marty is liked or not. If I guessed, I'd say he was.
But some of the rumors flying around now about Marty online are really not nice... and the car might well be the least of his troubles... but rumours are rumours and they might not be provable if there's cash involved. The source that is pushing it the most, he's a nasty piece of work. So I'd be very cautious on that.
What Dooley is hinting at there is something far more serious. People getting extra wages through car allowances - including people who don't have cars or a license to drive. Now, that's concealed payment for sure and one element of money laundering and it would be true to RTE's form so far. They must have something on that...
Aaaaargh finger pointing overload
Know that old saying "a new broom sweeps clean" - I think we need a bulldozer at this point
Almost every day there is a new story - whatever happened to this don't be drip feeding us stuff, but I guess it keeps the papers selling
1 outa 3 ain't bad
Her next album will describe that.
