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

Think Noel Kelly's colour very off alright . Blue around the gills .
In a past life I had to purchase stuff which was necessary but not cheap and I can remember many times the financial controller would be asking questions and rightly so.
Noel sucking a sweet now.
I wish I had set up a rival talent agency a few years ago. It sounds very easy as you just take instruction and don’t negotiate anything 😁
Jaysus NK's under pressure, some very stressed facial expressions.
Back to the tripartite again now. At least Brady got it right. I think the Louth Postman called it a tripod.
I think that's Tubridy's whole idea.
Free Willy
Fair play to Ciarán Cannon
Dont let them squirm out of this. Complicit in false accounting.
Kelly about to have a stroke.
Thank you deputy, said between severely gritted teeth.
they need to ask him why he was virtue signaling about taking a noble pay cut while getting undeclared topups funded by the public under the table so he wasn't out of pocket.
I don’t like the way this is going
The poor man needs a break
I think Noel is going to have a turn
NK worked with RTE through his clients for over twenty years, became part of the furniture, and knew how everything worked. RT cozied up to the DGs and executive. And together, they figured out how to get at tax payer money through false invoicing. And the executive were largely complicit because they were already on the take.
A rescue remedy perhaps ?
Mattie knows when something's up 😉
Did Noel scream for the towel yet?
They released the figures of the BBC top earners by the way (mentioned on VM)
Top three BBC earners -
1) Gary Lineker - £1.35m
2) Zoe Ball - £980k
3) Alan Shearer - 450k
--
No mention of cars though...
But if Alan Shearer can earn 450k for saying nothing really - Should RT be out by Friday surely the BBC will raise the interest of NK representing RT?
The longest day in Tuberdy's life.
The whole thing about the tripartite is central to whether fraud was going on - it definitely appears RTE's financial division / executive board were carrying out such fraud but very probably with NK's knowledge.
He did😅 A bunsen burner and tripod!
It's brilliant TV 😁
It would be fair to say that noel Kelly will need a drink with a kick in it after the last few committee members.
He voluntarily agreed. Just like going to the dentist.
Doh! He doesn't work for them, how can they sack him?
Starting to look like Collins that second week.
People of that age not built for this sustained high pressure questioning, it's getting uncomfortable. Ryan seems to be rallying now for him .
This f**ker Rt is looking to still get paid from the tax payer through Renault gigs?
Ryan Tubridy unilaterally walks out of a 5-year contract in year #3, but understands RTE is still underwriting & guaranteeing €75k/year if Renault doesn't use him for future personal appearances. Tubridy says he will waive the €75k in 2023 & 2024 if Renault don't use him...
and if Renault does use him, RTE will need
a. reduce the €75k it is charging Renault for advertising/sponsorship
b. spend an additional €120k in costs putting on the personal appearances.
What a pack f**ks.
I think the Louth Postman called it a tripod.
"The chances of anything coming from Louth are a million to one", he said 🎶🎶🎤
F**k me Noel Kelly is saying he knows nobody in RTE yet signs millions and millions of euro of contracts
