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

If HRI are happy with Doireann then Denis must have a very soft spot for her.
If I'm reading this right, she took a voluntary exit package which is normally offered when a role is being scrapped - bur her role wasn't scrapped, they got a new CFO
This will grow legs
I go to the races on a regular basis and have seen Doireann at both the Christmas and Dublin Racing festivals. Pretty sure I also saw her at Galway and Punchstown. I presume for that she posts about it on her social media profiles, meets guests of HRI, and does other promotional work for them. If it works for them and works for her then what is the issue? She’s making maximum use of her brand.
Oh OK.So if you're useless at maths like myself then you're more likely to have your tax affairs in order! I must run that up the flagpole, so to speak, with Revenue and see how it floats.
She was another one with poor recollection.
The repetition of posts is a tad disappointing though.
If its worth doing then it is worth doing right.
It is very clear that so far we have just skimmed the surface of the malpractice within RTE, and its clear that the review cannot trust the RTE board and staff to be open and honest in answering questions. So there needs to be a forensic audit and investigation that really looks into the workings and uncovers all the grubby little secrets, and that will take time.
They should take the time they need.
I knew that poster was a gimmick, but I didn't realise the gimmick included creeping on children in a bar. It shows the sort of people that gravitate to the "Toyman" I guess.
Agreed, but the legal representatives are probably there in case one of the gobshytes on the committee starts grandstanding and goes 'off-piste' with the questioning.
Hmm... iirc a couple of days ago she was maintaining that 'barter accounts' were known about and included in financial statements to the board. But her successor Collins stated they weren't and that he 'brought them in'. There was a direct conflict on this matter between them which the former CFO sort of tried to mitigate, but did she and is there a fault line here?
Amazing some people are unaware The Late Late was following in the footsteps of the Tonight Show which started in 1954.
I’m just hungry
In what grounds.
Im trying to bring a little light into the darkness
Absolutely, actually "overpaid " theiving bastards. For a change I turned on local radio this morning, TippFM. It was a delight. Fran Curry was the guys name I think, brilliant interviewer,range of interesting topics and good humour. The guy probably earns 10% of what tubs,Duffy, and the rest of the rte elite get.
To be fair any person who takes on a high profile role within Rte deserves a decent salary because you do become public property and have limited privacy 200k should cover that. You can buy a house in a decent estate where they might leave you alone.
Beyond that RTÉ should get a cut of all extra work. Say 10% because they made you
When pat the plank left Rte the 10am slot didn't collapse. It held it's figures.
I expect that the same occurred when Brendan took over the weekend slots
But what really gets me is we have 850k people on waiting lists - many of them children and this is what we get outraged about??
200k for a few hours work 30 weeks a year? Where do ye come up with it. 50k for that amount of time is more than enough, and there's no doubt a long list of people willing to give it a go, it leaves plenty time in the week for other jobs/study. I'd love to know who decides they're worth this much, and where they got the figures from. This should be asked.
Why do people keep referring to NK' s clients as "talent ". when it comes to renewing contracts for Miriam, Joe Duffy, Katherine Thomas etc, offer them 50% of what they're currently on and see if their " talent " gets snapped up anywhere else!
There are Fran Curry's, male and female, in many of the local radio stations around the country. Heard Oliver Callan this morning on RTE 1 and he was excellent and well read on the interviews he was discussing. Oliver was being his straight self, rather than his alter comedy persona, if you'll excuse the pun.
I still think high profile Rte people need to be paid well to get privacy.
Just not as much as they get now
I see Lottie Ryan has been airbrushed out of the group photo on NK Management's website with the delicacy of a JCB 3CX trying to do heart surgery.
I don't suppose RTE even knows, but what benchmark do they use to set the salaries for the "talented" gods and goddesses?
I have been listening to and enjoying Oliver the past week on the Tubridy show.
Today i tuned into TodayFM and it was crap - went back to Oliver.
Dempsey and Mario are nothing to write home about either
Loddy Wokie Ryan suddenly developing the high morals. What a hypocrite do-anything for money and fame.
Benchmark it to the private sector or tg4.
Have you a link?
But 8 months?
Surely it could be completed by Xmas.
Glad to see the term "talent" is removed now from RTE language.
Finally, confirmation that none of the top paid people in RTE are talented.
What the public already knew.
You sound delighted. You should go to the court and jeer those that were fined.
Its the likes of you that O'Leary and Tubs are laughing at the most.
History Lesson.
When Croke Park was first used for Gaelic games, the Railway End of the park was little more than a mound of earth. Its name was originally "Hill 60". That name came from a hill of the same name in Gallipoli on which the Connaught Rangers suffered heavy casualties in late August 1915. Contrary to common belief, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers did not participate in the Battle of Hill 60, although the latter regiment did lose heavily during the wider Gallipoli campaign.
"Hill 60" was used as a name throughout the 1920s and 1930s, until senior GAA figures decided it would be inappropriate to have a section of Croke Park named after a battle involving an Irish unit of the British Army. So "Hill 60" became Hill 16, a name that would link it instead to 1916, and the story emerged that it had been built from the ruins of Dublin's main thoroughfare O'Connell Street.
The Hill traditionally lags behind the rest of the stadium when it comes to comfort. It was only in 1936, when the Cusack Stand was redeveloped, that the turf and mud of Hill 16 was replaced with concrete terracing.
Would love to see Brendan O’Connor try and get €245,004k a year for 4 hours of radio work a week from the new owners of Newstalk & Today FM the Bauer Media Group who bought the Denis O’Brien portfolio of radio stations in this country.
