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

I think he was unhappy with her appointment TBF. At least that's what we were told. I am sure there is a better story to be told.
That Lynch didn’t have to apply for his job is both obvious and outrageous in equal measure. Jobs for the boys. He might be the rock Backhurst perishes on
Thanks for the anwer. But some more questions.
So if there was a verbal contract in place, then he had a contract. Verbal contracts are enforceable aren't they? Am I incorrect in thinking that? And more than Dee Forbes would have known about it because Tubs continued on with his raido show????????
Or is it that Dee Forbes didn't have the authority to issue a verbal contract so therefore the verbal contract is null and void?
And if it was null and void, why did the RTE legal people not question why he was doing the radio show with no contract?
Unfortunately, unless Dee Forbes decides to appear before the committee no knockout blow can be landed on Turbridy and Kelly. Turbridy knows he is safe and will try and pursue legal action if Bakhurst is not careful.
I think it suits all sides for Forbes to stay away. She will never appear before the committee as it could involve more serious consequences for her too. It seems Bakhurst wants Turbridy back despite all that has gone on.
Don't forget she has her hugely successful 🙄🙄🤣 "Dancing With The Staff Official Podcast".........
Was Tubridy still also being paid for the LLS even when he gave it up? Did they not give separate contracts for TV and Radio? Wouldn't surprise me.
Funnily enough I did, given his history, expect him to be impartial and objective on this one. I was clearly wrong.
He would for €25,000 though.
As with many things, there was a verbal contract in place with Dee Forbes that nobody else authorised or really knows the full details off. And as Forbes did a runner everybody else has to try and pick up the pieces.
Don't ask how Noel Kelly was able to negotiate that verbal contract with Dee Forbes considering he never speaks to her, nobody will be able to explain that.
Was she the one he reduced to tears?
some people saying Done Deal is not the NK website
I haven't kept fully up to speed on things but help me out or correct me if I'm wrong anywhere here.
RTE claim Tubs doesn't have a contract that covers him for the radio show right now. That's why they aren't paying his latest invoice.
So if he didn't have a contract that covered the radio programme once he left the LLS, why did they let him keep broadcasting his radio show then without a contract? Was it that he was allowed to continue because contract negotiations were ongoing?
You sound very bitter, sneering constantly about the place but won't find a new hobby. Its not healthy.
RT currently has no contract with RTE. There's nothing to sue over. There was talk of a new contract but nothing more. He's been strongly implicated in events which have had a catastrophic impact on RTE's reputation to the point its future is definitely in jeopardy. If this is not bringing a company into disrepute, I don't know what is?
Regards being sued, bring it on. A court case in front of a judge would get to the bottom of all this and who is lying far better than any Oireachtas committee. Its obvious no-one fears lying to the oireachtas committees. But lying in court is a far more serious matter.
The oireachtas committees are relatively toothless talking shops. You can forget about any sort of accountability there. All the principle characters on the RTE/NK side will know this will die down over the summer and they'll be allowed hold onto everything.
That Amendment to the Constitution was quite rightly voted down. It was an unbelievably shyte piece of legislation. Committees would become like mini courts with politicians instead of judges making findings against citizens. At least Judges are impartial and know the law. We could would have ended up getting decisions made along political lines.
Absolutely the right decision not to give committees those powers.
The way the PAC works is not great but it's ok. It's served it's purpose here with RTE. It's shown that there's shady practices and it warrants sending in experts such as forensic accountants and if stuff is uncovered that may be illegal or not quite right, then send in the Gardai or Revenue or the Corporate Enforcement guys. In other words, use the professionals to make findings and not the grandstanding politicians.
Never mind upsetting her, you had me raging.
I think he fears RTE being sued and it costing RTE even more money in the process. I can't understand him if he also thinks Ryan will bring in a lot of advertising revenue? I think his credibility is shot if he keeps him on.
Are these contractor's vat registered. It's interesting because Consultants, solicitor's,Engineers have to charge 23% vat for there services.
If it was imposed on so called talent it would change the contracting lark
It looks like Dave Fanning is going to escape discipline for his Nazi remarks.
In fairness,we have no evidence of that, I think people are trying to wind you up.
If Backhurst said anything else, RTE would be in Court.
RTE is still coming across as beholden to NK/RT. No backbone whatsoever.
“The invoice received by RTÉ was for Ryan’s television and radio work. As Ryan does not currently do television work for RTÉ, we will consider remuneration in the coming days and discuss with Ryan and his agent, Noel Kelly,” RTÉ said.
Mr Bakhurst also stated he would look at recouping €150,000 from outstanding Renault appearances from Tubridy if he was agreeable to returning it.
Mr Bakhurst said the scandal around the payment of Tubridy is “one of the most shameful and damaging episodes” in the national broadcaster’s history.
RTÉ now set to investigate ‘golden handshakes’ to senior executives who left broadcaster | Independent.ie
Despite everything that's happened, RTE are still considering a new deal with Tubridy. And Bakhurst will look at recouping the money from Tubridy but only if he is agreeable to returning it. FFS!
I think it will move down from the main headlines for now and also the politicians are going on holidays.
Other stories will naturally take over.
I think I heard Ciaran Mullooly speaking on radio news on Tuesday, about Tubridy and Kelly's appearance before PAC that day - not sure on what station.
If I'm not mistaken, the Nuremberg reference turned up here before it was tweeted by DF.
I think we have plenty of evidence that suggests boards.ie is monitored very closely by the extended NKM "family".
Im sure it was such a huge success she has never been allowed to do it again
So that's another box ticked off for Lottie to suck at. Stand in presenter for a few weeks. Tick....never do that again
So what exactly have they tried with Lottie that has worked?????
The angry mob can be stood down. Phew.
You are right......sure in Tubs/NK fantasy land, Ryan Tubridy is the most trusted man in Ireland and loved by all the children....
.....except of course for the few minority rascals who call him a cùnt when he is on his little jaunt for ice creams and merriment...
Verona Murphy has shown herself to be a motormouth with no substance. Asking questions but not allowing answers
I was hoping Bakhurst would say; if you would kindly shut that hole in your face for one minute I will answer your question
Thank God, haven't we suffered enough?
