RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

And maybe this is why Renault only committed to one year and no more. They smelt a rat.

But its surprising RTE couldn't find another willing sucker for their scam to funnel money to Tubridy.

She’s trying to it time to get her facts in order - expect another numbering list of events

Former RTÊ CFO Breda O’Keeffe - whose evidence about Ryan Tubridy’s contract negotiations was significantly challenged by Noel Kelly yesterday - has told PAC she can’t attend tomorrow as she has nothing to add to her previous testimony, which she had to take time off work to prep

Kelly kept insisting that the Renault thing was a 5 year deal. Even after he was told the contract was for 1 year and that it wasn’t even signed or there wasn’t an amount of money stated in it

So he thinks Renault quite amazingly came forward with a request to do a side deal with Tubridy for €75k pa at a time when Kelly was agreeing a renewal of Tubridy’s RTE contract for……….yes you guessed it…….5 years

in other news…… Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and Jack Frost will be in Eason’s tomorrow signing copies of their book “how to fool people”

The only reason for asking you such a bizarre question I can think of is an attempt to try and identify who you might be.

Yep, it’s what Director of commercial, Geraldine O’Leary referred to as “ my truth” whilst being questioned the other day. The facts or the evidence don’t count, as long as you believe the distorted version that is “my truth” that’s all that matters, it would seem…

Who is in attendance tomorrow ?

I find it funny that most of your posts are thanked by the same single user.

That's good. I was just curious about what makes a guy who couldn't wait to get home from a function to binge watch a recording of Tubs and Kelly before an Oireachtas Committee tick thats all. I mean variety makes the world go round and if that's what floats your boat then great!

If you wanted to flummox him completely give him this function

no I am not trolling - I am trying to be humerous

It does seem to be a newish strategy or tactic among adults in public life

I mean toddlers have been putting their fingers in their ears and screaming blue murder if things don't go their way since there have been toddlers...

I reckon adults are at it now because it's a viable strategy in the somewhat infantilised world of today....the tactic would just wear you down and in the absence of much consequence and perhaps salvaging a nil all draw or even a win when you've made a boo boo....why wouldn't you?

Society is fragmented, polarised filled with factions....brazen it out, plead ignorance, pretend to be contrite, throw a tantrum like an infant...all on the table.

When is the last time you saw anyone genuinely in the wrong come out with their hands up, admit blame, take responsibility , apologise unequivocally and offer to take a fair punishment/make meaningful reparations etc?
