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

Dunning Kruger effect around him on a national scale. The man has serious notions around his capabilities and it seems a lot of people people have the same opinion about his abilities.
The reality is, he is rigid and awful as an interviewer. He preps badly and cannot do any off the cuff stuff. He pushes misery into conversations. If I had a euro for everytime he asks the question "do you ever think about death" on the Late Late I'd be a rich man.
A man of his ability in a small broadcaster in a small country DOES NOT DESERVE a fraction of his actual salary.
My best mate watches the late late religiously with his missus and thinks he's a great fella. Fell hook line and sinker for Tubridys statements today.
It's not something we'll fall out over but a very big difference of opinion. 😂
Liam Lawlor in my opinion was assassinated in Russia because he tested the fence too much.
Yes he does plus he also believes the people of ireland love him
He has delusions
I think a run for The Presidency or politics would have been a cert if this scandal never came up. Certainly the presidency.
He believes it. It's clear from his narcissistic ramblings on the radio show, when he was allowed to present it.
Oh right, you reckon that's what he meant!....Doh.
Yes the whole Kennedy fascination and attempts to imitate.
Have you been to the guards about this?
Yes I'm beginning to think so.
He said it in 1966. First few seconds.
RTE vs Ryan & Noel the musical I’d go see that one.
If there’s one good thing to come from all of this it’s that those Presidential ambitions are now firmly dead in the water.
Sadly however, this will only embolden his NKM-stablemate Joe Duffy who also has Aras ambitions; also coincidentally built on a charade of being a man of the people whilst living a champagne socialist millionaire lifestyle whilst operating a “one man band” company created solely to pay as little tax as possible on grotesque fees way in excess of any discernible or visible talent whilst taking 3 months off a year despite clocking in for less than 10 hours a week when he’s actually working…….
I didn't see that particular question but having some some work for Mars a number of years ago, I discovered that they owned brands such as Uncle Bens, Whiskas, Pedigree Chum, Wrigleys, Dolmio and loads more so the question may not have been as thick as it seems (although it probably was)
I give you…..

Everyone should know RT spent at least 2k on the media PR prep for today.
NK and him agreed on the line “RTÉ is huge, we are tiny” and - re the invoices “We only did what RTÉ instructed”.
a major theme was delay delay delay and distract distract distract - throughout. To wind down the clock.
RT also agreed to portray himself as a gormless eejit when it comes to finances.
All an act.
He watches the money like a hawk.
Regularly argues with NK over money.
He also had “learned by heart” interludes - for example the thanks to the public for their letters - the toyman and his hopes for Irish children - and the charity monologue - all of which they anticipated would to go down well with the public.
The provision of files at 8:30 am on the morning of the hearing was not by chance either.
Cynical and manipulative from start to finish.
Your attempts to deflect and to sullie a very capable journalist in defence of a man who by collusion with others created the current debacle is actually worrying. Get help soon or maybe open your eyes and ears and look not at RT the presnter, rather look at RT the man who by his own admission has 150k of taxpayer's funds in his account fraudulently. A man too thick to realise that his continuing loyalty to his paymaster will be his undoing.
Fas scandal,
Eamon casey,
Emmet stag in the park,

Yes I got that sent last week! A lot of the gestures and hitting the desk in the opening speech (RFK esque) were Kennedy traits.
2k?
I can assure you’re underestimating that by a factor of at least 10, and more likely far in excess of that.
Jaysus that's cringe.
Collins was made a patsy by her and Forbes.
They probably thought we'll be gone and he'll be left with it.
I hear BOK isn't coming back in on Thursday.
Can they be compelled to come in once retired? DF on sick leave?
The 2k was just to push the door bell!
Bobby Kennedy's last speech. You can see the style. Tubs very much the yellow pack version. Bobby Kennedy was the best of the Kennedys, a great man.
Nobody cares, even about what happen today; its all entertainment.
Also aligning himself for future career ideas.
Looking at you Arnold.
You can’t say that about The Toyman! He loves the children of Ireland!
And the toy show was even better according to some of the members - for crying out loud!!!!!!
Agreed. This is keystone. Push all in. Whatever it costs.
RT was coached to the last.
You could see him deflate when the ctte said thanks and moved on.
When does his address to the nation he's used to having an audience of sycophants applauding.
RFK jan is doing great work in my opinon but it would not fit into Ryans' manufactured persona.
