RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

Tubridy has gotten the bullet

I assume it's safe to say he is still getting fees each day from RTÉ as the statement makes no mention of his fees being suspended, he could go to Marbella for the remainder of the summer.

That's a good start. Once I see some more changes mentioned I would have no problem paying my license again

Also it says "Ryan Tubridy will not return to his presenting role in RTÉ at this time, according to the station's Director General.", so there's another door being left open with how that's phrased.

At this stage lads & lassies, ye'd all just want to never listen or watch anything scuttered out from RTE ever again.

They've literally just shown the last few months, plain out in the open, what they actually think about the ordinary citizen.

So, y'know, if any of us keep watching and listening to them, and do it out of enjoyment or either hate/rage, you're just enabling them. Ireland has a serious psychological problem with this propaganda comfort outlet. And that's what RTE is. If you are listening to them, watching them, following them either out of enjoyment or hate, all you are doing is giving them publicity and literally feeding them, because they don't give a tiny fiddlers f**k what any of us ordinary people think or ultimately care about.

So, the only way to truly win and be free of these mediocre parasites is this, ignore them. Ignore all of RTE's output, don't watch it, don't feed it.

Don't even acknowledge it.

It's the only way to be truly free of all this corrupt noise that is never going to change until they are literally ignored by the entire majority, which is Us.

I stand over it...he'll be back in 6

Is this what a "nothing burger" looks like?

• "I have been clear since I took up the role of Director-General of RTÉ that I am absolutely committed to restoring trust in this organisation following a shameful period in our history.
• "To achieve this, and fully draw a line between our recent past and present, we must acknowledge and accept the issues that have arisen.
• "Who knows what the future holds, but for now I am concluding the negotiation with Ryan and focusing on delivering a range of important changes to the operation and culture of this organisation as part of the essential work to restore trust in RTÉ."
• "Despite having agreed some of the fundamentals, including fee, duration and hours, regretfully, it is my view that trust between the parties has broken down.
• "Public statements made without consultation appear to question the basis for the necessary restatement of fees paid for services for 2020 and 2021.
• "As I set about a programme of recovery from this crisis, it is imperative that all parties are aligned in one key respect: the misstatement of fees should never have happened; and the correct re-statement of those fees is accepted by all."

Tubridy had an open goal but he blew it, he couldn't resist giving his own spin on yesterday's audit finding. The gloating statement was out in record time. He was home and hosed without it.

Please spare a thought for Noel Kelly tonight....

His cash cow has been brought to the knacker yard for rendering down!!
