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

Hahah they have some serious commitment.
limnam threadban lifted
There was a time when Renault advertising was good, take the lovely Nicole for example, who people of a certain age will remember, pictured here without “papa “…. Now they throw money at Marty mortuary and Tubridy, bring back nicole…….
We get the colour of your jib now. A threat to lower paid employees no less.
You want to see the licence fee paid? You know what needs to done.
I'm aware of that.
Wouldn't be the first time, not the first time I've been threatened with being doxxed on boards.
Who is in attendance tomorrow ?
His soul referenced several times.
I call for reflection and reconciliation.
He did nothing wrong legally.
I'm going to a prayer meeting where we'll pray for Ryan. After this he tells Phibes to lie and take a sick day from work for yesterday!!
In the name and spirit of Connolly, Pearce and Plunkett.
Those are some of the gems off the top of my head.
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…
@TruthorBust i guess the Easter Bunny isn’t a client of Noel Kelly then? 😂
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.
I'm perfectly relaxed. I just find it bizarre that you would ask me what function I was at last night.
Or like when trump thought he had definitely won the election way after it was called.
is this the new thing now? If you close your eyes and ears the world is happening how you want
I think that last sentence has got to get you done for trolling.
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”
No. A joke.
Never thought I'd see a fan of Dan Breen one of RT and NK's biggest fans. Dan Breen was the antithesis of elites on the take.
Its Comical Ali level stuff at this stage.
"I will keep the 150k and fulfill the Renault roadshow gigs, and then I will return to my morning show, and all will be grand, but only after I read the mountain of cards and good wishes from everyone, and I can't leave the house except for all the people who say nice things to me, and I'm looking forward to the apology from RTE, seeing as I can't really understand why I'm mentioned or dragged into all of this in the first place."
Or words to that effect. No self-awareness or understanding of the damage to RTE, hurt to colleagues and mess he's created. Handing back the money also conditional according to him, if the roadshow events don't go ahead. He's been so badly advised from the time this all broke.
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
To be honest I am sick to the back teeth of being accused of trolling.
I have a huge interest in this topic and I am pro RT (as can be seen from my post history).
There are also posts from me where I expressed concern that his future does no longer lie with RTE.
you and I have opposing opinions. I respect your right to express your opinion. I believe in freedom of expression and I would defend everyone’s right to have their opinion heard until my dying breath.
these boards are a discussion forum - if you do not want to engage with me in discussion then that is fine.
if you do not agree with what I write then enter into a discussion with me.
calling me a troll is not helpful.
sorry for writing so much - I didn’t have time to be more concise
True but from another POV he didnt break the character of an innocent man in his mind. Innocent RT believes everything will be restored and put back in balance. Only a guilty RT would say none of this will ever happen.
Itd be difficult. Even setting aside covid. Renault had a long term LLS sponsorship contract. Id imagine they would take dim view of LLS brand being used elsewhere.
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.
They’ve photoshopped Lottie Ryan and diarmuid Gavin from the website but not removed them for the brochure on the website. Maybe they raised the wrong invoice for that 😂
I think Bakhurst was installed like a toilet.
Relax man relax.
What a weird comment.
With all the lying, passing the buck and dodging of questions it’s been hard to keep up with everything.
No wonder NK was tripping himself up yesterday when he was asked where the actual contract was. Not an email, not an invoice but the contract
So most likely what happened was Kelly threatened that Tubridy would walk unless his pay was above 500k, so when it was negotiated down to 440k GOL said she’d see what could be done.
Forbes must have agreed with O’Leary to do a swindle, some creative bookkeeping to reduce the sponsorship if they got the sponsor to pay him directly.
They paid for the expenses of the roadshow from the slush fund, and hoped it would prove to be a worthwhile promotion that Renault would continue to pay each year, probably with the same deal to give a credit note each year and use the slush fund for expenses.
Then they got caught out by the lockdown, Kelly threatened legal action which would have exposed the fraudulent practice, so they paid him off from the slush fund.
The auditors found it out, and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors hastily fired Forbes and they all colluded that Forbes would disappear and they’d blame it all on her and she would plead the mental health excuse to stay out of reach.
Now Tubridy claims ignorance of the law that he had to sign off his company accounts in good faith, and he’s pleading the fool pretending he didn’t know that this money was coming directly from RTÉ, and under examination he even said he’d give the money back, pretending that the shows could still happen and ignoring that the truth is out now that the sponsor is not going to pay him.
He should be banned from RTÉ now along with Kelly.
He is no loss anyway.
And they would have gotten away with all of it if it wasn’t for that pesky virus.
What's that got to do with the price of cabbages?
Are you not bored of trolling yet?
Tubridy persisted with the learned off rote “charmer” lines up to the end of his appearance yest “that’s a wrap as we say in the biz” -
then expectantly looking around for approval -
met with stony faces and quiet embarrassment
