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

A Bedsit? In this economy? You think I can afford a bedsit?
Now who's delusional?

What you say in theory is true .... and is used as the excuse by these so-called 'stars' when they defend their obscene money .... the reality is rather different:
Are we moving to hair transplants and teeth fixing today?
Great.

And you felt the need to be one of the cranks? 🤔
Rumer has it marty was demanding 5 grand cash for these little Renault outings, although he said he didn't accept a cent, what surprised me more about this is , Marty was driving around in a 5 year old Renault
Don't feed the troll man
Was watching Prime Time's reporting of the scandal and they had a clip of Tubridy presenting at one of the Renault events. His words in the clip were "That's some talent." Perhaps the RTE staff are enjoying some of this too. The new DG is going to have to do a lot of hard work to rebuild confidence in RTE and the morale of RTE staff.

Tid bits of info here or there. Being dragged out by RTE until the Dail goes on holidays in the hope another scandal arises over the summer (Golfgate size)
They need to dump everything they know right now onto the table. This is a joke, pure and deliberate delay tactics.
I’d say it was a new model every year. It might have been every 6 months.
On the show he did around Ireland, can you see the car reg?
8 months pregnant at the time, apparently.
Intriguing.
Did you declare this double income to Revenue ?
It is possible that somebody is dripfeeding this information.

.....all on different days.
Is there no end to your nonsense?
Nope.
It is everlasting and without end.
The Marty Mobile scandal was convenient. The problem for the Tubridy fans hoping for a return of Tubridy to RTE is that people seem to genuinely like Marty Morrissey.
Is there no end to your nonsense
I will continue to pay my licence fee and I would encourage everybody to do so.
RTE is a great public server broadcaster.
a new DG will start next week and we should give him a chance.
at the end of the day nothing illegal happened.
i value the work done by RTE and it is high time this witch hunt is stopped.
let the new DG have a good start next week.
It seems loveable Marty has pressed the panic button to cover his own backsi before the sh*t hits the fan over other employees with certain perks outside RTE.
He said he got authorisation from RTÉ - RTÉ hasn’t confirmed this authorisation or at least haven’t done so up to yesterday evenings drive time radio show- all they did was repeat Marty’s statement which indicates that he notified RTÉ of the arrangement.
One possible reason for the “secrecy” was simply in the current climate, Marty felt the optics didn’t look good and decided to end the arrangement - however, the FF senator who asked the question originally about car allowances had no knowledge of Marty’s arrangement in advance and it was RTÉ that essentially threw Marty under the bus, but without then actually answering the senators original question. (Can’t remember the senators name but he was on TV3 last night talking about this)
RTE are obviously offering up small fry errors of judgement ( and in Marty’s case considering he was open with RTÉ on this arrangement, I view that as very unfair to Marty) instead of getting under the bonnet of the much bigger issues that are obviously there
Yep- I’d prefer “The plank” over someone who just looks on edge the whole time, interrupts his guests and has too much misdirected energy
By that logic business to business transactions shouldn't be charging vat!
Its tax evasion and a criminal offence.
Marty should have to face full criminal action from revenue like everyone else would
This should not stop a review of RTE to find out who else is hiding dodgy deals.
@jmcc
The problem for the Tubridy fans hoping for a return of Tubridy...
is that their particular wing of the hospital only allows for 2 hours of radio/TV a day and absolutely no bright colours.
Tubridy will be snapped up by TodayFM if RTÉ lets him go- he’ll be on less dosh but he’ll still make a decent living out of it .
Also the line of "oh I didn't know how it worked, I just borrowed the car" is rubbish
He was a brand ambassador for BMW before this "loan" from Renault. I guess too much tax had to be handed over for the BMW deal so this was a better arrangement with less questions. Questions are if the BMW deal and this Renault deal was on the go at the same time. Hard to tell with old Marty playing the "poor old man" show
Again, just because you/people “like” Morrissey more than Tubridy or the Exec. board does not mean he hasn’t done anything wrong here. It’s complete double standards to demand Tubridy is never seen or heard on RTÉ again and the board all be sacked. and then turnaround and say “ah shure Marty is a great lad, he didn’t mean it, it’s an honest mistake”. It’s all part of the same culture of corruption, greed, and deceit.
Though a “lesser” crime in the eyes of many, what Marty Morrissey did could actually lead to him being in more trouble with Revenue than what Tubs did. What Tubs did is immeasurably worse from a moral perspective, but for people to say “Marty has done nothing wrong here” is frankly, bollocks.
You have no proof of that- you do not have access to what Marty declared to Revenue - your post is over reaction at best
If you are VAT registered then you can claim for any VAT that you pay, it couldn't be any simpler!
Leave Marty alone.
