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

Yeah, I don't see Renault kicking the door down looking for you to beanpole your way around onstage in some warehouse anytime soon Ryan!
you need to get out more often. seriously.
According to him he does
Both RTE and BBC investigating themselves is a strange thing to happen.
the viper covering it live, apologies if posted already

He's spent the last 6 hours regretting that.
These boys are getting roasted alive.
In fairness 3hrs per day is enough. Should be over 2 days.
But I think RT and NK agreed to the 6 hours?
I think he thought he was home and dry but the last 45 mins have been a bit of a disaster for him (the committee members had time to finally focus in on the stuff he was being evasive about).
Shifting the blame on to RTE not the brightest of ideas coming what is suppose to be two well educated men.This must leave RTs career in RTE hanging by a thread. NK needs a bigger shovel for the bigger hole he's digging for himself.
That's how all the best getaways are executed.
i'll say one thing, its confirmed the need to stop appointing lightweight clowns to these committees!
How many more will have left the NKM stable by the end of the week?
The problem Tubs has, he is talking about giving the money back now
BUT
that's because he was caught, if he wasn't then he would have kept the money no problem
I think that lawyer for overtime for Mr. Kelly and his company lots of billable hours. Even he is looking a bit worried now
He's beyond the shovel at this point, @toggle toes If only half of what I'm reading in here is in any way accurate, he's transitioned to o0ne of those bucket wheel excavators you see in open-pit coal mines.
I wouldnt blame him, imagine having to endure being spoken down to by a bunch of imbeciles like Mattie, Fitzpatrick etc
He knows no-one in RTE. Yet they are almost all his business.
We are a small company.
We believe you Noel🙄
hindsight is an incredible thing
imagine saying that to a judge
Renault should have a car draw on the first LLS back with the €75k in cold hard cash in the boot.
Yeah poor enough stint from NK. Not as assured as he I started watching.
They have gotten a chance to go through the sheaf of documents .
Should have been split up over 2 days .
Nobody is going to be winning if someone collapses after this .
I think the TD's and senators have shamed themselves today. A lot of BS and bluster. Most of this is showboating to pacify a section of the electorate who think 400k to 500k is a massive salary, it's not. CEO's in private companies are earning multiples of this, and some of those private companies will have significant government contracts. The RTE board did screw up the governance, no doubt. Noel Kellys job is to get the best deal for his clients, that's what he did.
I think both NK and RT have performed well today in the face of some very stupid questions Really highlights how our parliament is made up of teachers and farmers.
they should just let Mattie have at it. a few hours of that is worth the licence fee alone.
How many are left?
I am reminded of the contestants conferring on university challenge :-)
Tubridy appreciates everything.
NK refusing to state whether the invoices were fraudulent, sticking rigidly to the "inline with RTE's instructions" line.
In fairness to NK it's tough going answering those questions
Marie Sherlock gonna eat them for their slurs on RTE
Tubridy definitely proved his innocence toady by being aggressive and putting them on the back foot, as soon as I heard the first stutters from them I knew he was in the right.
