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

Looking at your words, "off the books", Niamh of NKM (the lady with the chauffeur driven car) has in her bio that she has "a background in events and below the line marketing."
The thing is, I think in the future Forbes could still potentially come back and throw a spanner in the works on this whole thing. It will be interesting to see if the PAC at some point compels her to appear before them. If she did the Oireachtas TV ratings would go through the roof again. Ryan may even leave poo poo stains on his RTE Radio podcast, I mean Radio 1 studio chair.
It ensures that people who have no intention of paying a TV licence but complain incessantly about RTÉ pay their fair share. We don’t get to pick and choose what taxes, fees and licences we want to pay, and this should be the case here.
I think a tax on the streamers and computer game services should also be implemented to further fund PSB.
He currently has no contract. He's in the same boat as everyone else in Ireland not having a contract with RTE. Should the rest of us also sue RTE because we aren't currently employed by them? He's unemployed through his own fault. Generally being a d*ck to your employer, bad mouthing them and doing everything to undermine them will lead to that.
He's a very talented broadcaster allegedly. He should have no problem getting a job with someone else. I'm surprised he hasn't been snapped up already if he is so talented!
Tubridy has also been incredibly stupid. How on earth did he and NK think they'd get away with all this, and why is he still refusing to hand back the 150k which is what will probably prevent him from being rehired by RTE.
Brolly & Fanning complaints about interruptions on Part 1.
One lad has a 3.4GHz processor in his brain the other 800MHz.
One is quicker than other - I'm not judging the quality of the questions and answers just the speed of thought and focus.
yes arrogance too. Alpha male buzz too.
I relented and listened to the Free State podcast. Why is Dion Fanning on it at all? It's basically Brolly interviewing himself. It's very annoying to listen to with Brolly constantly talking over the other man. I also found it distasteful the way he insulted the co host at the beginning. I will concede he did make some interesting points, but I would have no great desire to listen to future podcasts he is involved in.
So the only problem in RTÉ is funding?
I see all of that but sieving all the shite aside I just want what is distilled.
I can't see any of that happening, unless the Guards get involved Forbes won't be talking.
No, but you don’t eat the elephant all at once. Funding for Public Service Broadcasting needs to happen and it’s not fair that some people just decide not to pay it. The social contract doesn’t allow that.
Reform and improved oversight needs to happen but I don’t see why they both need to happen at exactly the same time.
Kevin Bakhurst made a point of saying he needed to talk to people in RTE before deciding on what to do with Tubridy. Is there any evidence he did that, or was it just for show?
Has he asked the opinions of Tubridys former or future colleagues or taken an informal poll of opinion in RTE? Doesn't sound like he did.
Fairness?
Social contract?
The irony of this coming from the loudest Tubridy supporter on here. 😘
Dont trust him and his big dopey head. YES man.
Do you expect Bakhurst to talk to the tea lady or the janitors? When he says he needs to talk to people in RTE, he means the board, the legal department and the finance department.
So lets start with the reform and improved oversight first and then the funding issue.
The license fee payer did not break this social contract. RTÉ came to us cap in hand begging for more money, every year, failed to explain their future plans with that money, and then went out and used their power to gain money for themselves.
And the government did capitulate on several occasions: -
While they government may not have restructured how we pay for the license fee, they did do a number of thing for RTÉ over the years.
Indeed RTÉ failed to move the NSO over the the NCH in 2021... due to staffing arrangement and covid ... but they were able to organize the barter account.
RTÉ have massive internal problems which they must now sort out before anyone can consider signing any social contract with them.
More than likely talking to RTE's HR and legal representatives.
Sure he could just do half a Renault gig and recoup that…..
You dont need two meetings to tell someone their services will not be required ......
Looks like they are working out easiest route back in for RT...
"Moya Doherty is is some sort of ghastly Dana. Glowing above us. Condescending."
"She's very good at that."
"the little people beneath me"
09:43 Part 2
We've been ridden without a saddle for decades.
Renault can't afford Tubridy anymore as their sales have fallen so much during their association with the late late show
"I'm going to guess that Ryan probably paid the guts of 30 or 40k for a team of Public relations people and a team of lawyers to prepare him for the committee and to write up that 40 page document"
And you can bet he'll invoice RTE for it.
The 1st Brolly/ Fanning podcast on RTE is like that - Brolly is a bit OTT. But in the second he tones all that down and it's sharp more often than not. The quote about Moya Doherty is bang on - he has her to a T. He also gives a good analysis of the vacuous nature of the presenter and many other matters.
The rythm from him and I agree with it is:
Golden Circle
Cartel
No outsiders.
One club.
Masonic.
Ah lads you've got this all wrong, look at the increase British royalty are getting:
Joe is even better than comedy. Comedy is a kind of fake But Joe’s carryon is by a real LAVH person being totally himself in the many ways as you halve described - it’ s hilarious
I agree I think DF will have a part to play in how this all plays out. Surely she has to, her name and reputation is ruined and surely she has to make a statement at some stage. As I’m sure she isn’t the only one to blame for this mess.
You cannot use the word ‘Gold ‘ here . That is the preserve of LAVH LAHN . I understand that it has been trade marked !
"Fried Gold" then.
I think her appearance at the PAC would make a great EastEnders end of episode moment, you know when that theme tune kicks in? The one that sounds like someone has just fallen down the stairs.
