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

Let him run down his contract, with a two hour show at 3AM five nights a week.
There we go. There's your highlight moment for today.
Oh my god he has him!!!
Sorry my friend I think you will find it has just started.
Tubs and Kelly have done themselves no favours, they have decided to point the finger at RTE and Im sure a few silly people will believe it but the majority won't and Tubs career is finished from what I can see
Plus from an RTE point of view you can expect mass non payment of license fee's, especially if Tubs and Kelly continue their interactions with RTE.
Not sure why we need to call everything "fake outrage". I think you will find tax payers in Ireland are far from "fake" with how they feel about this carry on by everyone involved.
FYI I think you mean "Faux outrage"
You know if you say it often enough you might persuade a few who maybe didn't see his performance today .
He was nauseating , pathetic and self serving and his agent has a lot of questions to answer as regards shady deals and accounts .
Did Noel have a bump on the break?
Take your own advice, doctor.
I don't subscribe to the idea that just because Tubs and Kelly are throwing RTE under the bus, that that will preclude RTE from negotiating a new deal for Tubs. Theres a new DG. He doesnt appear overly excitable. The old crew are getting resigned, early retired or moved to another role.
I think him, Kelly, Forbes and most of the board are up to their neck in it, pigs in the trough. A culture of excess and waste. But at the end of the day, the DG would have to terminate his contract and face the big payout and legal action that would ensue. As RTE have shown before, if its easier leave him there they will take the path of least resistance. Its going to boil down to listener figures and sponsors. If he has both, I think he may come back at some stage. I still hold out hope that his career in Irish media is over but this is Ireland..........
What’s a lurry?
And another one stating
'That was an editorial decision'
OR
It was just resting 'In my barter account'
Hahahaha, the people who thinks Tubs is finished are absolutely deluded. They can’t see the wood from the trees.
Hint folks - what you want to believe isn’t always the reality.
Surely Renault should come out and say they no longer require these appearances/shows by Tubridy? They'd be toxic for Renault if they were go ahead surely. And Ryan can hand back the money as he has promised.
The Nothing Burgers
As it was into the UK it was 0% instead of 23% which Kelly admitted in the last batch of questions.
It's obvious that some are connected to Tubridy or Kelly in real life. I hope that they're not getting paid to post their drivel. I'd want my money back.
Tubridy was struggling to understand it plenty of times, and had to cover up by saying sorry I cannot hear you....
Plus Fitzpatrick line of questioning was very leading and he was using the incorrect terminology
In what way was VAT hidden?
The sooner the better.
Why wait till Friday to sack him
Yes but greed, hypocracy and corruption can obviously. People have gone to prison over license fees used to fund an organisation and individuals who don't give a crap about decency and honesty, let alone public money.
No they don't act the way Noel Kelly did. He knew the invoices are incorrect, switching between companies to hide as well. Hiding VAT etc etc
A few wannabe big knobs.
They were all saying look at the mob, I've no time for posting. Yet they are here all day. A very condescending few with a superiority attitude.
We all already knew that both Tubridy and Kelly are finished. Today has just cemented that fact.
From the bits I have seen/heard/read from the committees:
The main fault is: -
1) Decided hiding payments in a barter account/ labelling fees as 'consultancy fees' was a good idea
2) Noel Kelly - not checking up it as the experienced negotiator/agent
--
And Tubridy is the lightening rod for this - as the 'face of fiasco' as he put it - bemoaning the fact that he did not call out the incorrect publishing of figures.
Have I got this right?
Let the Toyman grieve

Well so much for the story from some about how easy Tubs would get a job in BBC etc
Tubs said it himself he is desperate to get back into RTE, easy money
Can you explain why Mr.Kelly, a man immersed in the media business says he never heard of barter accounts until a few weeks ago? When the media themselves have claimed they're commonly used and claim that all perfectly above board. Do you not smell a big stink?
The crap is going to hit the fan once Revenue get their teeth into these boyos and their dealings.
Most companies act under the instructions of their biggest customer.
