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

How on earth can a decision like whether or not a boat should be used (I nearly said "hired" by mistake) for a makey-uppey party, let alone use a firm who one of the presenters has if not shares then some familial skin in the game, be called an "editorial" decision. It's about as far from an editorial decision as possible. It really beggars belief and once again, it's drip, drip, drip.
Narcissist if there was ever one.
I wouldn't be so sure. He was there before and did ok. Besides looks aren't everything look at Henry Kelly!
There's always radio :)
Noel Kelly is now tarnished and association with him will also tarnish anyone. The people who are wise would jump ship and hope others forget Kelly used to be their agent. It will be interesting to see what happens NKM after this.
And they just happened to be the only company not to be charged as RTE saw it as promotion for the company.
Yet, just one month after DG started in 2FM having a party on a boat owned by her and her family wasn't promotion ...
The whole fcuking thing is rotten to the core.
That phrase 'editorial decision' seems to be the best catch all, meaningless phrase to avoid further scrutiny since 'that would be an ecumenical matter'.
Must know the game is up here if he's scouting already.
Might get a regional daytime radio slot somewhere maybe.
The next Alan Partridge.
Even if they weren’t charged or paid a fee, it’s €000’s worth of free advertising.
ABSOLUTELY scandalous and outrageous.
And Dee Forbes used to talk about “advertising leakage”. The neck.
There's a long article on the BBC website about "Editorial Decisions". It refers exclusively (and it's a long, long piece) to being decisions about Content. Not boat hire, the choice of music at the party or which presenter should or shouldn't be taken off the radio or TV.
All of these leaks or stories have common attributes. There is a transfer of the public's money to the RTE ruling class and/or their friends, family and business associates in a hidden or concealed fashion. No outsiders either. Its one big club and we ain't in it, we just fund it.
It's standard RTE....free promotion constantly for whatever their presenters have their sticky fingers in so they can fill their pockets more.
The few times I have listened to it she used to have no problem plugging the boat company in Doolin her family used to own.
I would imagine a, slight, bit of restructuring and then a “rebranding”.
Whatever the outcome it will still be the biggest, and best, talent agency in the country and anyone lucky enough to represented by them will be getting the best deal possible.
Well that is the biggest load of boll*ks ever written in the Sun and that says something.
I think the population of Ireland should wish him well and let him off. See you later Tubs!! best of luck in England
Not sure how a lad at the bottom rung of the merit ladder could get any lower, but somehow he achieved it. I suppose he must've been hanging out with Mick and Claire or something.
Where are the post numbers on the mobile site?
Noel Kelly is done for. No one will want to be associated with such a sleazy individual like him from now on.
He lived for a long time on exaggerating his role in opening Croke Park to rugby and soccer too.
Reform of the TV licence planned.
Jesus, she a hungry young thing that Garrihy wan.
It's as bad as any of the other revelations.
I wonder if they will ever tie the license fee collection to revenue as they did with the property tax.
Even if the top layer of RTE management is ejected, does anyone really believe the next layer, or the mob below them are any better?
Who hired them, how have they learned their roles?
Monkey see, monkey do.
Roll on Monday and Tuesday says I.
I never really fancied Wogan either😍
I'm sure NK and Tubs solicitors will make it a nonevent on Tuesday morning and afternoon
Don't expect too much from the new DG's statement on Monday either.
Correct. They worked in same culture and accepted it. Clear them all out.
Never like a crisis go to waste I posted days ago.
Leo will have the populace behind him in this decision.
It will be rehearsed to a tee. Probably working on it right now as we speak.
Regardless everyone has a plan until they get hit.
London would hardly talk to him unless they thought they had some chance of selling him
