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

Leo says KB has made a great start in his new role.
Not sure. The Dail is due back on 20th of September so it may be after that.

They could always bring back The Den with himself on it, he loves entertaining children, and for a Christmas special he could once again become The Toyman.
The human mind is always tricked into such a phenomenon that a leopard has the capacity to change its spots.
gosh I hope he does not get back on air - surely there is better talent there..
i smell a "clothes shop"
When might the 2 Oireachtas committees resume? I doubt we will ever see Forbes or Jennings or O'Keefe or O'Leary ever again.
Bingo-I don't know why people are even engaging.
Maybe the family business is in the culinary industry, Waffles Without
Too early to decide that and more facts are needed. There did seem to be an argument over blame.
Ryan’s Return will be like Enoch’s Eternity, met with obstacles and notoriety.
A quick back of envelope calculation, if Tubs returns to radio on 200k, he'll be on close to €1000 per hour that he's on air.
And don't say he probably works about 4 or 5 hrs with prep etc , as anyone who has listened to his show knows he doesn't prep.
Ah it's a nephew this time. What does he do? Let me guess, he runs Handsome Nothing Burger. 😉
O'Keefe is lying and hiding stuff. I guarantee you that.
Of course people are taking advantage of the likes of RTE and BOI.
These companies are brain dead.
So it is all a….
10 hours a week?
NO chance for Tubridy....
It will be less than 5 hours per week with about 4 months holidays....
Maybe there could be an eye phone app with in-app purchases, options: 1 subscribe to listen to Ryan €50 per year, 2 subscribe to watch Ryan €70 per year. Bargain combo €100 per year. Auto renews.
I wonderf if that's the end of the RTE whitewashing or will there be more tomorrow?
It is funny to see all this discussion of C-Suites and rapidly aging nephews on high salaries. Recent events have exposed what many people suspected about RTE and its "talent" for years: it is overpaid and stuffed with mediocrity in a skewed market that is supported by licence payers and tax payers.
The PAC and Media committee want the board of RTE back before them. Hopefully, they will get Forbes and Jennings to appear.
Tubridy will have a few fans, paid or otherwise. However, his brand is toxic. RTE staff are not pleased and that anger could result in industrial action.
If Tubridy is so eager to reappear on RTE then let him pay for his researchers, assistants and other members of his entourage. The old contract, which Tubridy broke by no longer presenting the LLS, is terminated. If he's an external contractor then RTE should not be paying for much of his staff, apart from those directly involved in the transmission, and RTE should either deduct the hours worked by RTE staff from his fee or invoice Tubridy's company directly.
As for Bakhurst, he doesn't seem to be quite the new DG that RTE needs.
Should be, but wont because his fanbase dont have paypal or know how to get one.
So in the end, much ado about nothing. Tubridy will be on air getting astronomical money for 10 hours a week. no doubt RTE will also find an extra vehicle for his amazing and unique talents. the gravy boat has just got a refill. what a country.
Mike Murphy, who made his first ever TV appearance with me (I kid you not!) had a variety show where he did his candid camera skits, a bit of chat, a bit of singing, and guest cabaret acts. Ryan quite obviously attended formal voice and movement training, going by the improvement in his vocals and stage movement along the years, in theory he could do a similar type show, but would it go down? Mike had an awful lot of intelligence and understanding of an audience, which Ryan lacks, though he can have a smooth performing style, there’s too much of “it’s about me” rather than coming across as “about you the viewers”.
Maybe Ryan should be “pay-per-view, pay-per-listen” “content”, see how popular he is with his fan base.
Mr Kindness not worried about low paid workers losing their jobs and potentially their homes because of his presence resulting in huge losses of revenue for RTE. What a completely self centred and self serving individual. No surprise, he made everything about him when on radio and tv, especially the Toy Show.
But one way or the other, an announcement of some sort on the broadcaster’s future is expected within days at this point.
And the likelihood seems to be that Ryan Tubridy will soon be back on air.
Preparing the public for the announcement of his return. For what? Half the public don't want him back + he's costing RTE millions. What's really behind this decision?
Yes, what was needed was a proper new broom, ruthless enough to do what is required. Proper reform of the cosy set up that allowed the mess to happen, and to run on unchecked for so long.
Backhurst won't do that, unfortunately.
If it was me, as in, if I was in Ryans shoes, I'd have gone on a long holiday somewhere far from the media, until it all blows over.
I think it was very poor self awareness to release any statement today. But a lack of self awareness is something that seems to be his primary talent.
And people keep quoting them and keep responding to them.
Temporary feelings?
Are you being serious or is this all an elaborate case of trolling?
So, just like Tubs and Joe Duffy? They bring in the listeners and viewers which earns RTE money, and earn many multiples of the researchers and sound engineers, without whom, the show would not go on.
