RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

O'Keefe was definitely hiding stuff. Her 'best form of defence is attack' act was telling. Now she is unavailable...the redundancy was a nice little bonus

Where is O'Leary??

Murphy is right. We are being mislead. We need the key people attending and answering honestly.

Zero accountability is inevitable.

There could be 100 years of these committee meetings and will never get to the bottom of it because Forbes, GOL, BOK and NK have repeatedly lied and will never tell the truth. They are taking the p*ss at this stage.

I could never stand Dave Fanning and indeed his taste in music most of the time

If RTE want to be a transparent and trustworthy organisation, they have to censure Dave Fanning for his now deleted tweet.

It's clear NK is orchestrating some of his clients to firefight for him on various fronts. This has to stop now.

I’m not buying some sort of conspiracy theory here- I think that post was simply Fanning being Fanning - nothing more.

The clip running at the moment about the visit of Aaron O' Shea is heart warming

There is something in my eye

That's not change though, it's just rearranging the deckchairs. They'll want it all to blow over and then gradually get back to their cosy ways.

Of course, lower paid staff are not to blame and some sort of public broadcaster is desirable, even if they are inevitably used as an extension of the government press office at times.

Restructuring should be delivering a far higher level of corporate governance and accountability. Get rid of these agents, hold interviews and let presenters apply for full or part time positions with fixed hours and fixed pay at appropriate levels. Dispose of 2FM and orchestras, the latter being a throw back to decades ago. Sort out a funding model, personally I'm not opposed to paying a licence as it ensures that they be kept on their toes compared to being bankrolled by money straight from other taxes. But An Post need to be taken off the job and collecting same given to someone who will do it efficiently and promptly.

O'Keeffe wad being lauded on here last week for being so impressive LOL

2FM was created by RTE to compete with pirate stations that were popping up in the late 1970's.

Is there still a need for 2FM as it is not being run properly and sustainably.

RTE either close it down or sell it off and if it is sold off you will quickly see DJ's leave as reality kicks in with the new owners who will stop paying bloated salaries. What other station in Ireland would like to have the 2FM breakfast hosts on their roster?

Whole show is a circus. Crowd a messers.

Bakhurst looks absolutely hopeless

Its Renaau..not Renaaalllttt.

Yep RTE and NK plus his clients are a crowd a messers.

If you're wondering why RTE accountancy numbers are so 4ucked up, it's encapsulated by the claim that 150 is approximately 15% of 1,800 employees!
