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

So both of them going well over the 5 mins allotted. Sent in the docs a day late as well.
They are taking the piss entirely. No way would an ordinary citizen be treated like that. So used to doing what they want and when they want.
Arrogance personified.
If he came out guns blazing then he’d be dismissed here as being arrogant.
If he did the opposite then he’d be seen as disingenuous.
Can’t win. Luckily this orgy of outrage will blow over.
Despite the scattergun of scutter posts on here in the last 20 minutes, this is sounding very much like an RTÉ shaped problem.
Nope, the vast majority of gangsters in this country are suited, booted, privately educated and networked up to their balls and cooches!
I know…slight quiver of the bottom lip
They need to knock those 7 pillars of lies down lively.
I hope the Committee have had a Senior Counsel advise them on the questions to be asked.
Why as the person representing Ryan did you let RTÉ publish the wrong figures each time, surely you should have went public on it each year?
What are you doing here so?
There's going to be a lot of confused faces in the audience of next year's Oscars when they announce a guy called Ryan Tubridy has won Best Actor.
Ah forgot he was there! Must get my popcorn!
he's a fcuking presenter..of course he'll be better and he's been coached to death at this stage.
What's the point of them reading out loud the statement they submitted earlier?
Alan Kelly has a grim look about him...... let him loose, quick!!
Ah he looks like he's going to cry.
Little rat.
RT sly looking out under his eyes now.
How much will Virgin offer Ryan to come onboard? He won't be back to RTE anyway that's for sure.
The more time that they waffle and ramble on in their opening statements - the less time for questioning?????
They are going for Breda O'Keefe in a big way.
Are ye lyle ? Are ye lyle ? 🤯
Think l’ll have a glass of the Thames water plonk
That's the first time Ryan's done any proper prep for years and years!
He even praised An Post 'ordinary' workers for getting the 'sackloads' of well wishing cards and letters to him during his exile!
I'd say the aul bespoke intensive media training sessions over the past wekk cost a packet.

absolutley, I'm gutted
was expecting some Anto Taxi driver type accent
why can't they talk instead of reading..
My stream on my windows 11 laptop keeps on crashing. Why is that I wonder?
All that was missing there was the applause at the end.
Far too practised and theatrical. Likely to do more harm to his argument in the end.
Oh jaaaaaaysus…..wiping a tear from my eye
This is real silly season stuff isn’t it? We’ve become a society of fake outrage and outrageous online indignation. It’s reality TV for people who need to feel they are involved in the narrative
