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

Griffin gets Kelly to once again state that the €75k side income was initiated by RTE and baked into the contract talks from the very genesis.
Really not sure why Kelly gets 15% of revenue for something he didn't create...
Ryan, you are the codology. You're the problem. You. Kelly. And RTE.
Ffs, no point in asking for RTE to annually publish your contract when you won't publically query the figures they released previously for you.
He should go back to taking pics of himself in the nip with a rainbow flag mocking the church
That's about his level. But here he is, a Senator on an Oireachtas committee!
Grandstand for me job
Bounce this lad out and get started on the rest
In light of todays proceedings, i just hope Dee gets over her mental illness and decides to attend these hearings. It could be illuminating.
NK has done a great job as agent protecting his client's interests hasn't he?
He colluded in an under the counter scheme.
The invoices were fake. No consultancy services were provided. He colluded either by design or incompetence. And incompetence is no defence when it comes to fraud. It certainly demonstrates he failed to protect his client.
If he was such a good agent, he would have gotten it all done above board.
But nope, greed for this extra money on top of Tubridy's huge salary was all they were thinking about.
I was under the impression NK knew little about how RTE operates. Seems to be an expert now on how they fund various elements of the organisation.
Fintan speaks well but that's about it. He asks nothing with any teeth in it. Has his questioning delved into anything, called out any anomalies, suggested that there are grounds for "untruths." So what if Tubridy's association with RTE puts him in the spotlight for extracurricular activities.
Teams in field sports often play to the level of their opponents.
You can see Kelly struggling here with Warfields line and drifting.
Fintan’s time I’d almost up. Hopefully his publicly funded career is almost up as well!
Don't worry, Enda Kenny promised to reform the Seanad in 2011.
I've only been watching this for five minutes and Tubridy is grating.
All the work Tubridy did doesn't mean its ok to submit fake invoices in exchange for public funds.
Eh....how much time off do you think the average worker gets Kelly ?
Again it's his accent it was English understood it after the first question by listening. Giving out about someone and not liking them is fine but to pick it on someone's accent is low IMO.
They have survived.
They're in control of the committee now thanks to the last 3 committee members ineptitude.
No focus at all.
Demanding job
will you go and sh1te Noel
Hes an authority on JFK. Didn’t you know that?!??! He doesn’t like to talk about it though…..
What difference does it make to RT or NK whether he had "broadcasting services" or "consultancy fees" on the invoice?
He also clearly said he did not believe he was taking public money. Their understanding was that Renault were paying the invoices.
You'd expect a senator to have some oratorical skills.
is it?
I hope the country (how many are left watching this) realise elected TDs and unelected Senators are on the whole, absolutely mind-bogglingly useless.
John F Kennedy ref!
BINGO
For a fella called realdanbreen you're very fond D4 BS. You sound more like the real Pat Kenny 😅
Misery slot on LLS must be getting sacrificed for new season.
Why do they keep mentioning this 40% bullshit?
Dozing all day in the Senate. What do you expect?
The questioning is all about “We think you hold a broadcasting monopoly in Ireland”
His little voice break every few sentences earlier was horrendous.
The description is very arguably incorrect. The invoice isn't fake. He was owed the money.
