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

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Was the inital payment not from Renault?
The second and 3rd payments were from RTE due to them underwriting the contract?
Anyway. Even if NK was aware he was "hiding". He shouldn't have had to be hiding anything
RTE should have disclosed the corporate arrangement and identified it as a seperate contract in the earnings statement. RTE should have been hiding nothing and shouldn't have been using a very exspensive barter exchange for payments.
"lynch mob" bit dramatic
His lack of respect for the PAC meeting and the carry on yesterday was an example of the distain the guy has for the Irish public. He thinks a couple of rehearsed comments written by someone else and people will lap it up.
He shouldn't have fooled the people of Ireland while taking back payments in the grubby manner he did, taking tax payers money which he had no problem keeping till this blew up.
I personally see no reason why anyone would attack him on the street or why he would be afraid to go out of the house. If anyone did go up to him and I was in the area I would stop them very quickly and tell them to cop on.
In terms of Tubs his credibility is ruined and in my opinion he should be dumped now from RTE because I want RTE to continue. Otherwise we will see mass non payment of tv license. RTE is a lot bigger than Tubs so let him off, if he is such a great presenter then he will be snapped up tomorrow. Let everyone go on their way and RTE to reform.
More bad news for the RT and the NK alliance - audit finds he is the only one who has the wrong pay stated as a result of underhand payments.
So, the RTE, RTE, RTE, AND RTE line won't work.
Sound out. I understand.
Its a George Carlin quote. A comedian.
Indeed.
Regardless is it not intrinsic in RT's profession of 38 yers to simply be unphased about current affairs and show business as subjects/topics.
The ability to openly talk off the top of his head like a book worm "nerd".
Nothing really adds up here the more you pull out form the jigsaw.
LV, MM and many many others are very well known (and even reported in overseas news stories), they're not celebrities
Excuse me while I thank your post
we're really arguing if Ryan Tubirdy is one of the most well known people in Ireland or not?
This story was on Sky news and Channel 4 news!
Because he’s a bit of a spoofer. It’s why he is a very average/poor broadcaster.
Especially when NK repeatedly said the Renault deal was only with RTE.
Yet, RTE instructed him to invoice for consultancy fees through a British barter account that in turn charged RTE for the service. As NK didn't answer when asked if he charged a fee for this we can assume he added his standard commission to the total owed.
Why did NK raise an invoice at all when this was apparently between Renault and RTE? Why didn't the invoice reflect what was being charged for, and why didn't he send it directly to RTE?
Answer: He just did as RTE instructed to hide the fact that Tubs was earning more than declared.
You could have one and still be dependent on them.
e.g. to remember them you need to have seen them.
If he doesn't prep then he would need the cards.
Pretty sure theres posts on this thread about how little prep he does for shows.
Sorry I was responding to this comment
Its one big club and we anoint in it - period.
It was a tongue in cheek comment. Personally if Tubs is in a club, it's a club I want nothing to do with.
If he has a photographic memory then why was he so dependent on his cue cards when doing interviews on the Late Late?
He gets what 300k (supposed) listeners to his radio show (I've taken part in those surveys and its pretty much even if you listened to 5 mins) on the supposedly premier radio station in Ireland
Love island on VM gets 100k viewers and those viewers probably know all the names of the contestants
Putting a name to a face does not make them the most well known celebrity in Ireland (Joe Duffy joins the thread), NK's stable are not shy of making sure the fluff pieces are in the papers every week if not every day
Manufactured celebrity or natural and talent celebrity is the question.
A weed or a Rose?
It’s like that if you admit that he’s a celebrity you’re crediting him..🤔
This photographic memory is new news to me. Expand please?
People might be able to argue that he isn't talented, but it's pure stupid to claim he isn't a celebrity.
Funny how the audit has shown that only Tubs' salary was wrongly reported by rte. All the other top earners salaries were correct.
I wonder why? Perhaps they didn't request any shady underhand payments, that why?
Looks like they are the ones with (good) souls.
Absolute bizarre stance to suggest he’s not a celebrity.
Vogue Williams is a celebrity, ffs
Compared to her, RT is like celebrity royalty!!!!
I agree. My point about Ryan knowing what many pages contained are supporting evidence for his photographic memory. I am almost certain he has - this opinion is not based on recent events at all.
I had (too many) a few looks at Warfield (SF Senator) and still can't figure why he was put there then and what he asked?
There should be at least a 24hr prior submission of defense (?... Those facing comittes) documents.
In the future.
And it turns out there really isn't a scandal at all. She was probably hoping it would be a case of paying a minor for dirty photos but the police said there is no investigation as no laws were broken.
Just one man paying another man for pics..non story.
He's a bit more than a tik tokker or Insta celeb. He's known by pretty much everyone in Ireland. I don't know the name of any tik tokkers.
Being forced down the throats of people is a different matter.
You cannot be in media today unless you are programmed to programme the masses.
Just sit at your desk.
Read and paraphrase REUTERs & The Associated Press, copy and paste the pictures.
Top gal. Bingo.
Thanks Lottie.
You are losing credibility if you are claiming Ryan Tubridy isn't a celebrity here in Ireland.
He's one of the biggest celebrities we have. You are delusional if you think otherwise.
What would you define as a celebrity?
It’s quite a story, really. Ticks all the boxes for plenty people. Should not at all be a surprise that Irish media are making it a top story to cover
The "pack" or "buke" was a prop for them. A crutch in a difficult question like the pale faced "lawyer". A distraction.
When having a Tik Tok or Instagram account = celebrity it just goes to show how much of a celebrity RT is. Self proclaimed and self lauded pretty much like any Tik Tokker or Instagrammer
Forced down the throats of people is more like it, whether you like it or not
