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

A kind of - revenge is a dish best served cold, perhaps?
RTE Gate explained in Simple Terms.
So RTE state they reduce their spend on Tubridy by 15%. They are looking for additional government funding.
They have an opportunity to generate revenue from Renault but instead channel this money which exactly makes up for the reduction notionally plied to Tubridy. The chap must thinK we are soft?
Him or this Kelly chap should not be considered as vendors again for RTE full stop and all this execute redundancy stuff recouped end of story.
AFAIK those stamps are not refundable, but lookit you did what you felt was the right thing.
Don’t know about it being ai Ed at conservative catholics any more, not that many left in the country, even the clergy are bordering on being “woke” 🤣
One does one's research my dear.
I know it wasn't from Renault, Tubridy and Kelly knew it wasn't from Renault and rte obviously knew but Tubridy and Kelly claimed they didn't know and Rte deputy DG strangely agreed that this was plausible. That severely strengthens Tubridys hand imo.
Don't get me wrong. He should never be allowed j side the door of rte again but that won't stop him suing for millions.
Nice one! All that has to happen now is they send someone out to see if you no longer have a TV and then they can give you a refund. Only thing is you don't get advance warning of the visit.
RTE deputy DG is saying it's plausible that RT and NK knew the money was from Renault. He is only saying this as it takes the heat of RTE and very probable claims that RTE paid the money.
I do agree with you that RT should never be allowed inside RTE again and if he does go legal the real talent inside RTE won't want to work with him again.
Now that most TDs are on their holidays and inquiries are under way. The heat will start to ease off and most of what was revealed three weeks ago will be forgotten by the Irish public.
RT has taken the big hit regarding been put through the mill by both committees and with the new DG stating that if RT returns the 150 grand he's is open to negotiating a new and revised contract. So the ball is in RT's court.
Another very good Eamon Dunphy podcast, again with Fionnán Sheahan (the man who broke this whole story btw):
Well worth a lsiten.
Some of the attacks on Sheahan here are so transparent. NK doesnt forget.
I am not the biggest fan of Fionnán Sheahan but when he does excellent work like he does here I am a fan.
Dunphy has done some great podcasts on RTE Gate.
Liewise, I wasn't the biggest Sheahan fan before this, but both him and Dunphy have been excellent on this.
As Dunphy is not part of the NKM stable, he can probe deeply without been compromised. He also has the best guests to explain the latest goings on.
Unfortunately I am going to have to agree with you. The only think to stop the last bit if the DG actually goes ahead with asking all staff but then again how do we know they will ever follow through.
Ah now Dealz ain't that hard up 😆
Agreed. A super journalist.
TD's might be on their holidays but Government ministers like Catherine Martin should be on call 24x7 so they will be keeping a close eye on what the DG does.
I am sure Lotties parents wanted her to go in the way of them so I say the whole nine yards singing, dancing and acting. Is @ButtersSuki Lottie I wonder
Current licence runs till the end of the year then I'll sign a statutory declaration.
You must think I'm dips hit in my 20's?
They were chancing their arms in an entitled deceitful and morally corrupt manner. And this is why Mr.Tubridy needs to be firmly shown the exit door. Too late for belated apologies, caught out and may take the consequences.
Great encapsulation of the situation.
is it on the minister’s desk?
Well this is quite an opening statement from Mr Dunphy:
"The RTÉ / Ryan Tubridy scandal is entering it's 4th week today. It's a stunning revelation of incompetence, stupidity, greed and... basically I'm not sure if RTÉ can ever recover from this."
And now for the next 30 minutes...
what's the status on Ryan? bad guy or not so bad guy?
tis hard to keep up
Where’s the flipping Minister in all of this? Hardly a peep from her. Completely out of her depth with this one.
Known bad guy.
We are just trying to figure out the rankings.
Theres a lot of competition between Tubridy, his agent, RTE execs, RTE boards members. With cameos from other NK 'clients'.
A complete bottle of smoke really. After 4 weeks of non stop attention Nobody has been or will be found guilty of doing anything illegal and of course the likes of Eamonn dunphy will continue coining it as he pontificates (of course only after he had checked which way the wind was blowing). The pearl clutchers will swiftly move on to the next outrage.
That is absolutely brilliant, I was in knots laughing watching it🤣
