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

interviewer: So, tell me about a big accomplishment or something you’re proud of?
me: I had nothing to do with Toy Show: The Musical.
interviewer: you’re hired.
Both looking very flushed at this stage.
This isn't going the way they thought it might.
I'm sure all his "friends" -as he referred to them as - would be delighted to have him back.
I think Tubridy has managed to navigate through the worst of the questioning well, seems really at ease now, the emotion has dialled down.
But for Noel Kelly, the more explaining he does/obfuscation non-answering of questions, the bigger the hole he seems to dig.
--
Tubridy was then asked (by Murphy) was he happy to just follow instructions, Tubridy said does not see invoices, does not have meetings with RTE that is why he has hired his agent Noel Kelly.
5th time the lawyer is coaching Noel
Nazis now are they? Brilliant.
All im getting from this PAC session is that NK has bad accountancy practices.....
Strange obsession with Alan Kelly given he put a lot more to the witnesses directly than the earlier deputies present.
Twitter might be a more suitable platform for your views.
Is that the same Dillon who jumped on the bandwagon and wanted free gaago for everyone in rural Ireland! Tubs has little to fear of the likes of Dillon and Mattie McGrath are all he is up against!
Started well re. accounting practice. But wasted his time after.
The solicitor hasn't advised Tubs on anything yet has he? Just seems to speak to NK
They're trying as much as possible to stick to their booklet and whst they've rehearsed. But when they're dragged away from it they fall apart.
He’s not here to discuss it though. So it’s ok.
Not at all and this is so often the failing with modern debating.
No one has been called a Nazi, but the comparison to the "I was only following orders" defence that was used is completely valid in that the actual point is "Did you not question it yourself?"
"I'm just a lowly toyman I know nothing of invoices" says tubbs then jumps in to answer a technical question that Kelly tries to dodge.
Box office
Not sure what that has to do with the questions that he asked.
He did at least some of the work anyway

Ryan "we hope to get the best deal in life".. says it all
Did he really refer to himself as "The Toyman" 😳 The toyshow is a 2 hour event one Friday night of the year.
My kids watch it, they will re-watch it once or twice again on record that weekend.
It's not mentioned again until the following November and they wouldn't know the hosts real name or self anointed nickname.
They wouldn't recognize him if they passed him on the street.
Does he really buy into this charade?? The definition of Walter Mitty Syndrome.
Tubs was "very surprised" to see all that extra money in his account .
So surprised he was struck dumb and is now aghast that he didn't speak up .
Is he going to donate this money to a children's or other charity ?
We are witnessing history.
Ryan Tubridy's last appearance on Irish TV.
There will be a fun debrief with the crisis management team Ryan Tubridy hired after this,
I'd be pretty sure that the crisis management team will be reading this thread looking at the Journal comments section, Facebook and other message boards to see the public reations and letting Ryan know how soon if ever this will blow over and then work out what he needs to say going forwrd in public.
Kelly will be grilled far more by the Media Cmtte
There's only so much PAC can ask a private man about public money
Ok perhaps I wasn’t clear but I was joking. I know they weren’t been called Nazis.
Yes someone simply has to ask Tubs did he not question receiving 75k per year for doing no work?
They also need to refer to the various interviews he did stating he was in the LLS for the long haul, once just a month before announcing his departure.
The invoices are what will hang Kelly. Tubs lying about reason for his departure is what will get him.
Noel's hands flying in all directions is fairly unconvincing stuff
Bit like the paperwork in that regard really.
lmao, there is no way he's back on RTE
Ahh, you mean an invoice, I think that's something we do in our radio station studio.
"No secret , no secret ," says Noel, " This is the secret "
