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

This thread just keeps giving....
Can the hags that used to do expose and the like be promoted into RTE in her stead for some sort of vacuous what celebrity is using which colonic irrigation specialist this week type fare!
They are tarnished by association.
They are responsible for demanding no pay cut, which is what necessitated it be run under the counter. They knew well that it couldn't be done above board and included as part of Tubridy's declared pay from RTE - even though it was coming from RTE. They forced that by demanding it was guaranteed by RTE. So yes it is on them.
And they were happy to send in invoices colluding in that.
So yes they are culpable in this along with elements in RTE.
This appears to be the reason he was so eager to explain more about the €900 fare.
They aren't touching the barter account from what I can see
They paid RTÉ and RTÉ paid into the barter account which paid kelly ....
RTÉ only facilitated three things for Renault
That is my understanding
Read it. Its very interesting. The most interesting part for me is that while BOK was in charge of finance, the barter account was used for all kinds of questionable transactions. After she left the barter account returned mostly to legitimate advertising and was in credit.
BOK has a lot of questions to answer, particularly in relation to oversight of the barter account.
Neither is Ryan Tubridy or NK Management.
I think what has pissed off the TV licence paying public the most, is him lying about the extent of the pay cuts he took and not correcting his published salary - that he knew full well were incorrect.
"I've taken a pay cut before, I took over 30pc the last time and they've asked for more, which would bring it up to about 45pc or thereabouts since I took 'The Late Late Show'," he said. And when it comes to this sort of issue that's not something I've been found wanting in, and that continues to be the case."
He was still at it on Tuesday, trying to insist that payments from the Renault deal were separate from his RTÉ pay. It was obviously something they had both been coached to say. The person whose opinion matters the most, Kevin Bakhurst, said that what they were asserting was not logical and that both payments, “should be seen as part of his pay package”.
Tubridy's culpability for the mess he is in is far higher than 1%.
I pretty sure he was specifically asked was the transport for him or someone else and he said it was for him.
All Renault did was agree to a sponsorship that benefitted them, they are not responsible for DF underwriting the agreement and paying it in an underhand manner through a barter account.
You'd wonder if RTE paid for Tub's accomodation and travel expenses to London when he did his little BBC summer fill in gig all those years ago. I actually wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised.
Well you hardly expect him to drive ALL THE WAY 🙄🤣 to Drogheda now do you? Lol.
People who earn a fraction. of what Tubridy does commute from Drogheda (and further away) to Dublin daily and back home again after doing a full day's work. Yet Tubs needed a chauffeur to drive him to Drogheda for a 2 hour gig.
And you can bet anything he wasn't driven in a Renault.
I don't see how
They were offered a commercial agreement from the commercial side of RTE.
What fault lays with Renault?
Yeah it kinda works out maths wise for drive up, driver hangs about during gig, drive back.
But why would RTE be paying for that? Why would RT expect it if there was a seperation of contracts and payments?
I don't know how Renault are getting away scot free in this.
Renaults relationship is with RTE, not Ryan Tubridy.
They facilitated this deception.
They certainly add something alright! He seems like a guy who's only discovered copy & paste fairly recently. He might have been on a FAS course or something!
While I was googling to check my memory about the chauffeur car for Niamh, I came across this article. I'd not read it before,; it's about the barter account(s). I found it a very interesting read. Money sloshing around all over the place.
Whoever it was actually for, Tubridy in his hearing said that it was for him.
Said it very arrogantly as well, "It was for me, of course".
Either you claimed €900 for a taxi to Drogheda or you are hiding something else, take your pick there Ryan.
Yeah, but during the committee meeting with RT one of the TD's asked briefly about it, said "RTE paid for your car to Drogheda, €847..." Ryan said Yes but there was an interruption and it wasn't touched on again (that I heard).
If like RT and NK state, the Renault gig was seperate, why would RTE be paying for lifts to it?
The relationship between Forbes and NK needs further investigation. What exactly was said in the one to one call, or calls, we may never know and Forbes has gone to ground playing the mental health card which no-one is buying. The two of them were in cahoots for a long time and for Kelly to say he doesn't know Forbes is one of the most laughable things to come out of the hearings.
Tubridy via his agent has done irreparable reputational damage to RTE. Even if he was in contract, its grounds to be fired.
Kelly is of the view that everything Forbes did or said was legitimately on behalf of RTE, other people would query that.
I don't think Tubridy has grounds to sue, he screwed up his own career, so why should anyone save or bail him out now?
And he still hasn't paid back the 150k.
Of course, thank you.
Did he go via Ballyvaughan to collect his glasses?
Lottie no relation?? 🤣
What I find remarkable is that in relation to Tubridy anyway, this type of behaviour/culture continued to exist right up to the publication of recent events. Apparently it has become knowledge that no other competitors of RTE were headhunting Tubridy, yet he was commanding the highest salary for a presenter within RTE. Does this really come down to what Tubridy could generate in terms of advertising revenue? Why was there no willingness on behalf of RTE to let him walk? They are still pussyfooting around his position with RTE. He is either an employee or a contractor, if he is a contractor but no longer under contract, what legal rights does he have to challenge RTE if they were to dispense with his services?
Basically, what can he sue RTE for? What are the chances of him being successful?
I think it was actually for the girl from NK Management. That came up really early on about the chauffeur driven car. Niamh
Kevin Bakhurst
This is what people like Lottie and Ryan are told from an early age.
"Stick with us kids, and we'll make yez STARS!"
Who's KB??
Its a tremendous advantage in politics to have a FF member and family connection in RTE.
RT access to a microphone and the minds of millions.
You'd be mad not to shoe horn RT in there to look after your "message".
Was there a reason given as to why RTE paid €847 (?) for RT's lift to Drogheda for a Renault LL gig?
