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

Exactly. Why has he resigned now?
Is it to prevent further leakage about TSTM? Is it to prevent him having to go in front of another Oireachtas Committee?
One wonders. It's all very #intriguing.
Well if RTE stay operating like they have historically you won't have to wait 10 years. And then you can watch it on repeat about every 3-4 months.
As I suggested above maybe some of the €2.2m was funnelled to friends and family or associates who were "consultants" like Ryans €75k consultant fees.
There are no shadows on the floor. Physics is even different at NKM.
The reason TSTM was not a success was that a lot of the cast members were unwell in December 2022 - this led to the cancellation of many shows.
Have some posts disappeared?
BS. They didn't sell the projected tickets you muppet. The couldn't give them away quick enough. Coveney cowardly running away from responsibility. Telling.
Concerning the talent agency - who exactly are the talent contracted to?
if their contracts are solely with the talent agency and then the talent agency “sub contracts” them to the national broadcaster.
could this be a realistic scenario?
I watched the clip form the late late show, those 3 girls signing and it was painful to watch ... I assumed it was just a terrible show ...
According to this link - some of the cast members fell unwell leading to the cancellations
https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2022/1217/1342507-cast-illness-causes-toy-show-the-musical-cancellations/
11,000 tickets sold. 9,000 given away for free!
You are all over the shop on this thread.
My guess is that are 2 separate contracts.
The agent is only the middle man for the person (or more then likely the company) to get a job and then they would get there cut.
I don't think it's the same as been a subcontractor
Hope I am making sense here
Was he quizzed already?
No comment from Simon on brother Rory
He met with DG today…
Two out of 3 on the panel on Sunday game belong to nk management
These people now need to be called out on NK representation. And I mean everyone
I know his gone but should still do it. Others should be able to answer
Riiiigggghhht!!!! I believe that
Rory has jumped off the sinking ship
rereg posts deleted and also any replies to those posts. Happening a lot. We be on thread Part Deux if they weren't
May why some were cancelled not why tickets had not been sold
Maybe Rory will team up with Moya Doherty and take TSTM on a world tour, they might even make more money than Riverdance 😁
So the conversation was are you resigning or am i firing you
The incoming DG thanked him for his “diligence, energy and insight”.
The West End, Broadway, a residency in Vegas ... 🤭
I did not know who Doireann Garrihy was, I had to look her [The Garrihy sisters] up. Her wikipedia page would make you a little sick. I believe she or they are also related to somebody that used to be high up in RTE? Her Godfather is Ian Dempsey, who's father was Fortycoats, and now he has his own son working in Today FM.. Wow. Is there some sort of map of all the connections it is crazy.
But back to the wikipedia page and this is not the worst or only part
Doireann began a deal worth thousands of euro to promote Flahavan's in February 2022, when she was paid to post on social media; however, this got Doireann into trouble when she used an RTÉ studio without permission to promote Flahavan's products; for a year and half, Doireann refused RTÉ's attempts to take the promotion down, until it was noticed by a newspaper in 2023.[28]
How could RTE not force her to take it down for a year and a half? I do not know who she is but I suspect she is fairly low down on the 'talent' list, and just decided to ignore her bosses for a year and a half, also doing other things. Is it because she thinks her social media influencing is better or bigger than RTE? If I ignored my boss for a week I would have no job to go back to.
I'd say Geraldine will be online first thing tomorrow looking for a GP appointment..
I cant believe the word Bribe has not been mention in relation to the Japan trip.
Maybe it has?
Most companies have an Anti bribery and corruption policy
RTe have RTÉ CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT 2022
It mentions:
2.2 Bribery and Corruption
"The Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018 makes it an offense for any person to corruptly offer, give to, or accept from a person, a "gift, consideration or advantage"
as an inducement to, reward for, or on account of any person doing an act in relation to their office, employment, position or business.
Refer to the RTÉ Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy for further details and guidance."
Now Geraldine might have though the recipients deserved a trip to Japan, but most companies would consider a gift of that magnitude excessive.
Nice to get though and great to tag along!
I didn't know Ian Dempsey was Fran's son!
Nobody's mentioned nepotism yet in all of this scandal.
The canteen must be like a Christmas dinner.
I am guessing you mean the panel for the semi final in the hurling, who are the 2. Geary was in the panel for the camogie. Is she 1 also.
Yes.
He was asked a number of questions especially on the toy show musical clusterf#ck.
