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

They are not father and son or even related in any way.
Another thing that is bugging me.
How can a Chief Financial Officer get a severance package and is replaced by a CFO? On 200k (at least)
Money for nothing !
Edit:
seeing that all RTE expenditure seems to be on the table.
can we get details of how much she got?
On RTE website
Unions at RTÉ today raised questions with management at the broadcaster after the former chief financial officer Breda O'Keeffe told an Oireachtas Committee this week she had received a voluntary exit package from her employer.
Irish Secretary of the National Union of Journalists Seamus Dooley said workers at RTÉ were "demanding clarification" regarding Ms O'Keeffe's exit package as a new chief financial officer had been appointed and there had been "no change to the executive board".
He said there seemed to be an inconsistency to the situation for ordinary staff, some of whom were turned down for packages.
Ms O'Keeffe left RTÉ in March 2020 after 17 years with the organisation and was replaced by the current Chief Financial Officer Richard Collins.
I wouldn’t bank on that just yet……watch this space.
Will ye be investigating Marty, Tubridy or rte in general?
She pulled out the auld mental health card the other day at the orieacthas meeting. Probably gutted she didn't do it sooner when she thought like the rest of them they could bluff their way out of the mess.
I've worked in family run firms with less nepotism.
Who says anything about not giving you an interview? I've worked in 6 other countries and have been in hiring panels where people discussed the negative effects of bringing in someone's wife or husband to the team. You just don't have to hire them. It's not discrimination not hiring someone.
No it's not unfair. It comes with the territory I'm afraid. People will also suspect that family members will be subject to favoritism from other family members. People will also suspect family members are less likely to discipline other family members or call them out on corruption. The reason people suspect this is because they're right. Family members will generally treat other family members better than unrelated employees. Do what you want in a farm or some other private enterprise but I want accountability from my tax money.
The EU published a guide on the how to fight nepotism from local authorities. https://rm.coe.int/168097a4e3
Nepotism makes people less likely to work as hard, leads to lower work place satisfaction and is related to workplace corruption. People who complain that "we can't do anything about it" are the reason why we get sub-standard freeloaders like those in RTE.
man - your wan Geraldine O'Leary has had a great time of it though eh.. and retiring in a few weeks.. grrr.. she'll have the last laugh
And reason why our political and public services are rife with cronyism and not run properly. It reminds of those royal families that kept it in the family because they didn't want to taint the royal bloodline.
In all fairness politics is rife with nepotism, ever hear of political dynasties. Do political parties select family members for election on the basis of merit them being the best person to represent the electorate? Also ever hear of politicians appointing family members to their constituency offices and as their drivers etc. Obviously a 'nothing burger' as these people are without question always the best person for the job.
As usual politicians consider themselves exceptional characters above reproach and therefore have no moral qualms about operating a 'do as I say and not as I do' principle. Public sector standards must be led from the top or else we end up with what we have in RTE and elsewhere.
Chumbawumba 'Tubthumping' (pardon the pun)
Come on lads.....very harsh with the musicals, I have to say...
More suitable would be ...Oliver Twist...
Sure weren't they barely surviving on what they had and just want a "bit" more!!! (Poor guys)
And I'd say there are plenty more twists to come in this one.....😁
I thought you were talking about the expert analysts but ya those 2 I would have guessed
Philip “check your privilege” Boucher-Hayes’ sister is a regular guest contributor on RTÉ radio.
She’s not, as far as I know, represented by NKM though.
I wonder did PBH check his RTE colleagues privilidge and chastise them when they travelled business class to Japan? I bet he did in his Range Rover.
Does anyone know if the union will be having a lunchtime demonstration on Tuesday
Reeling In the Years 2020 & 2021 can build to Reeling in the Years 2023 by using clips of Mr Tubridy saying were are all in this together etc before giving the big 2023 reveal that Mr Tubriby was in this for himself at the cost of the rest of us.
I’ll tell your Aunty Anne you said that.
You don't really get it do you? The problem is not so much employing family members if they are fit for the job spec.
The problem is when same family members start lining their pockets and conveniently ignoring other family members excesses.
And it really becomes a problem when family members are throwing about and wasting public funding.
Off with them. We can't tolerate abuse like that.
I worked in a section of Dublin City Council where there were quite a few inter-staff marriages (having subsequently met at work) but they were always set working in different sub-sections so they very rarely crossed paths in work-time.
But we wanted to hear a full breakdown of expenditure on Toy Show Musical and how he justified the wanton waste to the Public Accounts Committee.
i see absolutely nothing wrong in employing family members whatsoever.
did you know in the Arigna Coalmines only family members of existing employees were employed in the event of a vacancy.
the reason being that these family members could be trusted blindly.
i know in my place of work if a vacancy arises I would rather my new colleague to be related to someone I knew already.
otherwise you will have blow-ins coming into the company with new high fallutin ideas.
whenever a new employee starts and they have notions we put them in their place by saying :
”that’s not the way things are done around here”
Maybe “The Producers” would be apt in view of the failure of TSTM, with Ryan performing “Springtime for Hitler and Germany”
Where I work (Revenue) people going out are kept away from the same section if possible but is a definite to happen if the people are engaged or married/civil partnership
That is even not going in to if you are shown to check up people you know or celebs. Anything you do has your ID on it
Money money money - abba
Or
Money for nothing - Dire Straits
Fiddler on the roof of RTE - If I were a rich man.
There’ll be two extremely busy threads on Tuesday, this one and Liveline hosted by Joe Duffy unless the latter hasn’t gone down history lane if there happens to be some vague distracting historical anniversary that nobody gives a toss about that day.
Can anyone think of a suitable musical for his theme song & dance as he enters the chamber.
All positions should be advertised online. But “recruiters” could be another fly in the ointment, as I’ve heard of cases of recruitment being done by a personal friend of jobseeker without anything other than a 20 minute phone call from a single local manager in the institution. One case I know more details of didn’t get past senior heads, though, and offer was redacted. But it demos what kind of stuff generally goes on and this would very likely pervade into RTE even if jobs were advertised, unless very stringent oversight was involved.
I have several times. Nepotism is the reason entitlement thrives. When people get jobs based on who their family they're hardly going to care as much about the job are they. They'll also be hesitant to call out the corruption because other family members are likely involved.
