    They’ve been brought before government committees so RTE have been made answerable for their lack of financial governance.


    are you seriously suggesting the government should be strictly supervising RTE’s financials so forensically they should be immediately aware of financial governance issues there almost as they happen. That they should effectively act as a forensic internal auditor? Pretty preposterous what you think the government should be capable of oversighting

    Pretty much, apart from emission crisis.

    Most of these issues and their non solutions are simply vehicles to put public money into a small amount of private hands and increase civil service fiefdoms.

    People will continue to vote for the main parties regardless if their house price goes up, most of the time. They will think they are being clever in the voting box by having a long preference list resulting in them voting in people that do not want who are poor candidates, see many of the most powerful ministers of state and the counts they got in on.

    They cannot say they didn't know, that is a cop-out.

    RTE lost over 7 million in 2019, the year Timmy Dooley in opposition was asking questions about some of what came out in this latest controversy.

    Timmy's party got into government and did nothing about what was going on.

    They have responsibility and the tools to find out what is going on, that they choose not to do that before it goes tits up is a government failure.

    Also not sure why there isn't a scandal about this, kids in various types of "temporary state care" are being sexually trafficked by groups men. Kids be taxied from care or state paid for accommodation to hotels to be raped by groups of men.

    This came out June 2023 which was if I recall correctly the height of the RTE scandal, which was mostly concentrated in the media before the government shut up shop for their recess.
