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

I think front line medical staff, those working in supermarkets and others who kept essential services going helped us during the pandemic. Not the Tubridys or sneery Luke O'Neills.
Thank you for your service
For wrestling fans of a certain age - Tubs shows up at RTE next week wearing an NWO (New World Order) black and white t-shirt from WCW back in the 90s. "He's the third man! Oh my god!!!!"
Sure you did!
They really weren't given enough time each, particularly given how Kelly and Tubridy tried to stretch out their answers and deflect.
When did he say that because it was this afternoon with the Louth TD (Fitsgerald I thin?) was asking him if he would donate the over-payment to charity and he went there is no over-payment
Shouldn't you say mansion?
I take great exception about my pronouns being misappropriated
“Don’t worry about it” he says.
You were the one going about it, now you’re saying what you were saying doesn’t matter at all? That’s actually the definition of talking Shyte. Some cheek for you to be describing the committee members as “thick as pigshyte” given your just sitting there bumping your gums and blathering a lot of ould nonsense that you won’t even back up yourself. “Thick as pigshyte” indeed.
Exactly. There was no new money from Renault for these events. RTE 'reduced' the LLS sponshorship value by 75k.
They were a scam to funnel money to Tubridy and NK. And to run the scam events RTE blew €50000 from the slush fund barter account.
'Fog of Confusion' is a poor soundbite for Tubridy. It's being used on most news outlets. Fog of confusion literally doesn't clarify.
and he made the offer in front of thousands of witnesses in a recorded committee session, so no take backs possible.
I only watched 1 hour approx.of the whole thing. I was out in the lovely fresh air bringing home turf from the bog. Somethings are more important than the shenanigans in RTE 😊 .
He still doesn't understand the Renault gigs were a sham and cover for him to get a payrise out of RTE funds. He actually thinks the gigs were genuine and paid by Renault, even after the credit note was explained to him.
He said he'd give Renault back the money for the jobs he didn't do, if he doesn't do them. No time scale or definition of what would constitute doing the events.
It will be quite funny of Renault demand the money back because he'd be such a liability they don't want him any more anyway.
Too many.
At least Tubs got out of the house for the day.
It was just after his daughter passed away had Barry in flood of tears went shall we stop now while prompting him to carry on as it may have some help. I think it may actually on youtube was absolutely low
Is in RTE 6 times a year, represents RTEs biggest client, yet doesn't know Dee Forbes or have her in his phone.
"rte instructed me to do it."
I thought Tubridy did very well thought on his feet, spoke with sincerity, not constantly consulting legal advice, was polite to all those on the committee, was generous with his time. Explained numerous repetitive questions despite his obvious frustration to the TD's/Senators who were late to the Committee hearing.
I am not sure what hearing(s) you were watching. But I would give Tubridy a B+ for his performance facing the committee - with points docked for being overly emotional at times and having to refer to Noel Kelly.
Noel Kelly on the other hand did not seem to have much sincerity and tried to play his influence down constantly, pushing the blame on RTE - who he was 'instructed by'
Tubridy seemed credible - but Kelly didn't IMO.
The new DG has blown a bit of a hole through one of their main defences...
"The new director general of RTÉ Kevin Bakhurst has said that doesn’t “see the logic” in the assertion from Ryan Tubridy and his agent Noel Kelly that payments made to him tied to a Renault deal are separate from his RTÉ pay."
Don’t recall that Barry McGuigan one? Actually I completely stopped looking at the Late Late Show when Tubsidy took over
But he aint paying up. He was asked would you give that money to charity and his answer was why its my remuneration, its mine
Don't worry about it.
Fair play to RT and NK offering to help the committee.
i think this transparency is to be applauded.
However, I think they did themselves no favours today.
I think Tubs career at RTE is over.
Thanks for all the laughter, tears, joy, hope and for keeping us all alive during the pandemic.

For "Consultancy"?
Tubridy is like a newsagents I knew, back in the days of all cash, notorious for giving the wrong change. Always always always in favour of the shop. They'd pay up ^immediately^ if challenged, so everyone knew it was deliberate.
They’re all elected so at least they have that standing. I don’t know where you get the authority or informed opinion to describe them as “thick as pigshyte”.
Don’t know what a “whacker” is? Is that a Dub or anyone from a big town or small city ( there are no big cities in Ireland). Also what’s this 50/50 thing? Are you saying that the committees should have 50/50 representatives from city areas and country areas like as if they’re a different species or something. What is this nonsense about?
Long day for the lads in fairness. Let's not forget their stooges on here; a long day for them also. They're the real talent, as Ryan might say.
If one good thing comes out of today; it's that we might never hear from Mr Tubridy again.
