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

Nah I think Tubs knows the games up.
Meanwhile Marty commentates on the All Ireland camogie qf between Cork v Kilkenny. The female co commentator is extra fawning over him. 'That's right Marty', 'as you said Marty', 'good defending be Steffi Fitzgerald Marty', 'Julie Ann Malone did well Marty'.
I never heard such a love in, hugs and cuddles commentary. Marty safe in the bosom of the GAA 'national institution'. Sickening.
And I'm very much from a GAA background and played inter county.
It has always been interesting that the HSE employees are all such heroes, yet at the exact same time the HSE is a complete mess. I'm always reminded of a quote from the movie "Moneyball"
If he's a good hitter, why don't he hit good?
Those bad attitudes are endemic in the HSE and the results are there for everybody to see and experience.
Marty is the jester of rte - untouchable even by those at the top
Some journalists have an agent because they could be hired to speak at an event, chair a panel or do a fireside chat.
Personally I don't think she needs an agent, I don't have one and neither do the guys I work with. Anytime I have been asked to do something I have been contacted personally or one of the main publications I work with have been contacted about my availability.
There is so much bullsh*t in that statement I don't know where to start.
The Japan trip was not "cost neutral". That figure of €2,427.10 is frankly, bollocks.
I know the names of all of those who went on that trip - two of them I know personally. I can't publish their names for obvious reasons but I can tell you it was basically a week-long piss up and fine dining as well as some minor sight seeing and "touristy" stuff. The piss up part was wasted on one person on that trip as he - or she - is teetotal, so I guess RTE saved a few quid on that at least. 🙄
the language around "did not pay for flights" is deliberately and intentionally vague. They may not have paid via a credit card or cash, but was the famous barter account used? I can tell you airline companies aren't in the business of giving Business Class tickets to Japan (with stopovers in Dubai) away for free.
How long was the stop over in Dubai?..one day or two or three? Both ways?
Did you hear the piece I referenced yesterday on radio 1 before the Galway v Limerick game? Shocking stuff, cheerled by Des Cahill with all the panel telling us how great Marty was and a good GAA man so that made it all ok in their eyes.
You wouldn't get it in China.
I’d have more respect for tubridy if he didn’t hand back the money to be honest
Same here.
i think RT should come out fighting and insist all monies earned were contractually agreed.
nothing illegal was done.
Does anyone have a link to that please? You hear the same gombeens defending RTE on here.
I read that. No one closes ranks like the GAA in modern Ireland. FF fell, the Church fell from grace but of the 3 old pillars of society the GAA is the only one that has survived as strong as ever in 2023.
Don't forget D'Arcy also took his wife back with him into RTE, we don't know her salary.
Too little too late.
€150k I think I read somewhere.
Unbelievable.
Are you familiar with the words self awareness and context? Nothing illegal doesn't always equate to nothing immoral. Tubridy clearly lacks self awareness and is not intelligent enough to understand the concept of context. If he did he wouldn't have trousered the 345k Euro.
The more that comes out the more i'm beginning to hate him. He is smarmy, entitled, devoid of talent and has never done an honest days work in his 50 years. He has gotten where he has because of connections. Hopefully his days in media are over.
You are absolutely entitled to go and bat for him on here. Your opinions make for a interesting counter point to the main body of sentiment towards RT.
Himself and his agent will need to produce a performance like this.
Dublin is a village - these things happen.
Hiding behind a Jester’s face!
Do we really need gossip and rumour from that rag
GUBU.
Yes in a 1.6 million village Gay, Marty and the greedy Garrihy girls all met on a boat, coincidentally, at the same time for a party and promotion.
With every post you make you lose more and more credibility. If credibility was a company you'd have gone into liquidation 3 weeks ago.
The salary might be too high for sure but that wasn't the question I was answering.
I rotated it for you. It was horizontal on my desktop.
At least Clay Davis was (allegedly) helping the poor whilst enriching himself.
Noel Kelly on the other hand.................
RTE in an absolute tailspin
BBC: hold my beer...
The question is did Tubs, M-Party, the Garrison mafia or the RTE board pay Renault to cause a nonce scandal at the Beeb and take the heat of them this week???
Didn’t Tubs radio show not do a live thing years ago down there with those boat people from Doolin?
It literally is one big club. Todd Andrews was chair of the RTE Authority. You all know his grandson.
"Two of his sons, Niall Andrews and David Andrews, became TDs; David Andrews became Minister for Foreign Affairs.
His brother, Paddy Andrews was a football player, most notably with Bohemians who was also capped by the Irish Free State. Todd Andrews' grandson Ryan Tubridy is a radio presenter and television chatshow host on RTÉ, while grandsons Barry Andrews and Chris Andrews were also TDs. Another grandson is comedian David McSavage."
There are too many negations in that question - please rephrase it
