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

Marc... get on with it!!
Committee members should not be allowed to say anything that ends with a full stop and not a question mark.
We believed you.
They're rapidly running out of steam.
someone is and its not Imelda
The face on Alan Kelly - dying to have a go.
Green Party here to unravel all the good work done.
Tubridy a different person when he can't control the narrative.
There will be a killer blow. Imelda fairly done a damaging job there. Setting them up for the fall.
Quite right. Poor chairing of the meeting and if the witnesses want to ask for a question instead of a statement from the Members, they should do so.
It does not sound good for RT.
Did you engage a Comms team?
Were they paid?
Did they advise you to delay submission of the documentation this morning?
!!!!
Ryan has a very high opinion of himself and its not a good look at all.
Shut Ryan up!
Tubridy is showing what a peice of work he really is.
All this is hollow if he doesn't hand back all the money, including the barter account fees and the cost of the renault gigs.
He'll cry yet lads.
It's so obvious the parts he has rehearsed to say. Pathetic!
I think Imelda Munster was dreadful. Came across as rude, ignorant and unpleasant and not particularly effective.
The squirming is delicious.
They are been slowly chipped away at, it will be interesting how long they can keep it up.
I don’t see Mattie, is he there?
I hope this hurts Renault too, even private sector should take note that it's wrong to be making shady deals with taxpayer money .. some will come to light, some won't, but in this case it did and Renault isn't looking great ... although I always wondered who in their right mind would buy Renault anyway (car quality wise ...)
They way Tubs and NK are throwing RTE under the bus, there's no way that anybody in RTE should ever touch them again. Trust has to be totally gone.
End of an era. Thankfully.
After their rehearsed opening the 2 have been unimpressive on fairly basic questioning so far. It's going to get rockier for them.
Imelda was excellent. Caught NK out rightly about the underwriting of the contract using public funds.
This is it.
Going after decent, hardworking, people who acted in good faith instead of the company who seem to have had no control, or accountability, over their own finances.
Why would he hand back any money? He got paid exactly what his contract stated.
He's not part of this committee
For someone who is supposedly a T.D. it's fairly shocking that she couldn't ask a coherent question.
munster was really bad
