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

RT has other people to answer questions for him.
And Tubs and NK suddenly looking a lot more relaxed ...
It has. He’s done better than I expected abd is in danger of windling his way back imho.
What's all this RENNO bullshit, its REN ALT ffs!
Or a bowl of coddle in the canteen
Coveney in a bit of bother?
It strikes me from this thread on comments like this and all the comments on accents how many Dubliners there must be who literally never hear accents from around the country outside of events like this and either struggle to understand them or perceive them as unintelligent.
It's bizarre, maybe there really isn't enough accent diversity on national media.
its true, and blaming a faceless organisation is easy here. If it was the private sector, that organisation would have no hesitation in delivering a two fingered salute. But this of course is moo moo land.
That's a ridiculous comment.
Proof that he was a college friend ? Are you serious? He Said it in his opening comments
Yeah . Mattie wouldn't get in this mess you can be guaranteed !
Old Boys/ Girls networking , verbal agreements , funny handshakes ;)
Tom Hagen might as well pull up a chair and take part at this stage
But sure there was people on from Louth denouncing his ridiculous accent.
Is the lawyer guy in the background running the company? He seems to know all the answers anyway worth whatever his fee is.....
I have a contract to 2025.
I could be out of a job by Friday.
How many lies does Tubridy tell himself?
Yep I’ll +1 that - while I don’t like Tubridy as a presenter, it’s doesn’t mean I don’t have a sense of fair play- the issue of his pay, in my view, is inconsiderable, compared to the massive mess RTÉ is in right now and it’s getting way too much air time. I understand it from an optics perspective but throwing Tubs under a bus just because he got a rake load of cash from RTÉ over many years, is not the answer to RTEs problems right now.
In fact, if they want to make money in the future, like it or not, Tubridy will likely be one of the few that has the capability to bring in the advertising.
In fairness, 90% of the comments here are ridiculous.
Tubs said they got 30 mins notice that RTE were releasing a statement, but NK said earlier he was informed about the issue being raised in April I believe? He didn't discuss that with Tubs at all (must have slipped his mind) and then Tubs just decided to retire from the LLS in May.
This is like a comedy.
NK acting like he's an employee of RTE and not an owner of several companies. I was doing what RTE instructed.
I'm shocked that you would agree with that particular poster. I didn't see that one coming at all.
What’s an RTE?
today's objective was only ever damage limitation. they've managed to stem the flow, but also sow a few seeds of doubt in the public's mind. boredom will soon set in, and the public will quickly move onto more engaging pastures.
I'm not really clear about the whole subtext about RTE subcontracting key personnel that should be employees, sounds dubious as well. I mean if they're trying to save money by avoiding tax prsi etc, who are they saving it for?
If they're trying to save money by screwing junior staff on pay and conditions, who are they benefitting?
All of the other penny pinching and the poor mouth they've consistently put on can only be of benefit to one group of people. And now they have one of thier favoured sons(Bakhurst) in to steer the ship.
Stay Classy RTE
Rte aren't paying us, Astus are.
Did you not ask who Astus were?
No, it sure it was RTE who instructed us.
Kelly is a **** liar.
Nailed it there at the end... "going around in circles."
Such disingenuous nonsense from Kelly.
Ryan and Noel to RTE: You know the way we absolutely trashed you at the 2 committees...?
RTE: Yeah...
Noel: Can Ryan have his job back?
They also said at the start that contracts needs to be adhered to and should not be constantly cut
Next comment was about Tubs and he retired mid contract from The Late Late Show, breaking his contract
Serious head up bum with both Tubs and Kelly
would he wake you up to tell you he's about to go to sleep?
Brett Kavanaugh mentioned drinking beer at least 30 times
How many times has Noel Kelly mentioned not drinking tea?
