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

Well Bakhurst laid out a road back for Tubridy.
It seems to involve ditching agent NK, some humble pie and toeing the RTE line / narrative on the payments.
Bakhurst said The organisation is bigger than any one person eg Tubridy.
Subtext is that the organisation will take him back if Tubridy "takes the knee".
Prime Time on +1 now.
When a TD's salary + expenses + a committee or two pays more than RTE. Will George Lee's wife want him to go back to being a TD?
With butter vouchers.
It's very telling that BBC covered his departure. It's almost a very subtle "Don't worry folks, he's not coming here".
Aragh I'd love to have seen them try to reinstate him. Just for the craic like!
Legal proceedings are inevitable now. I'd love to see the face on Noel Kelly now. He is normally like a bulldog with a wasp on his nose.
However it came about the end of Ryan Tubridy is absolutely special. I can't believe it has come to pass and he did it all himself. Glorious!
Terry Prone said one of RT's comments in front of the PAC I think it was, was that he wanted to reach out to the children of Ireland?
That is a bizarre and frankyly creepy thing to say.
Aside from the fact that I never felt he felt genuinely comfortable around children, Sure, he loved hosting the toy show, with the lights and music, and the spotlight on him, but the kids were more a necessary evil than anything.
Can I not delete the phrase “thick delusional idiot”?
Bak and to the left? :)
it takes a certain type of incompetence to screw up a sure thing when even the management was trying to get Tubridy back on RTE. Tubridy has that kind of incompetence.

She stopped for a second when he said lower salaries were on the agenda as contracts came up for renewal.
€170000 is all any of the top 10 earners should be on.
The Stalinists in RTE will be busy deleting Tubridy from the website and every publicity photo. :) Bonus points for whoever catches the updated schedule with the Ryan Tubridy Show title changed.
Literally...
Surely they will drop the Ryan Tubridy title at this blooming stage?
The irony here is that Tubs fecked it all up for himself.
He had a verbal agreement with the DG and it was a matter of when, not if, he would return to RTE.
He couldn't help but be the smug git and release a statement that seems to have royally pi$$ed off the DG.
Whatever happened, it wasn't public opinion or the views of his work colleagues that went against him.
Ultimately he got himself sacked and the irony is delicious.
It's a bit of a "JFK moment" hearing this news, which I'm sure Ryan will take some comfort from. 😂
"A nation holds it's breath....." 😀
To be serious I never take a joy in anyone’s personal downfall (unless a total crim etc) but this Tibridy lad needs to learn a very very long hard lesson. He won’t be without means. But lacking in the affirmation he is accustomed to. He has his lovely daughters and mother, siblings etc who adore him, that should be the important focus. He needs to learn his place, there’s plenty of love, though it might be more focussed than he is used to.
I get the feeling Bakhurst and NK might have had a bit of a blow up.
Understatement of the year, lol.
What a time to lose your voice, you had plenty of comment to make earlier...
I can second that. I have zero grá for his type of music but great grá for him as a man. A few years ago my OH and I were visiting an elderly relative in a nursing home in rural Co. Limerick, when Daniel made a visit there. He interacted with every single resident. He had no entourage and there was no media mention of it but he lifted many spirits that day, including ours.
RTE on the verge of financial collapse.
Hardly any discussion about this on RTE.
Wildfires and Trump - RTE all over them.
i predict this is going to be one of the seriously overnight threads
You revolting crature, me a convent girl
Don't think that Sheehan quite expected the Indo to actually get a few heads with that story. Brendan O'Connor did well in the JLNRs so his show may not be in trouble. The PT interviews and discussion were good. Prone, however despised, was 100% accurate about Tubridy. Bakhurst stated a few weeks ago that he was not going to be talking to Kelly so this direct negotiation (based on what has been said) with Tubridy is in line with that. Some of the other NKM "talent" in RTE may be first in line for cost reductions.
What does Dave Fanning have to say about all this ??
No, I'm no fan if his but you need to get off the internet for a while and visit the real world tbh.
Yes, she does. I wonder is she secretly relieved Ryan did not use her pr firm. So it seems NK was not such a genius afterall ,if, as hinted by Bakhurst, NK was the one giving Ryan bad advice, which probably means he was behind that statement Ryan issued last night too. If this is the case it just proves Ryan can't think for himself.
Who on earth was going to listen to this podcast!?
I knje there’s a HUGE amount of
—I need to edit that! 🤣
Remember when KB was chauffeur driven by Marty around Ireland in a " loaned "vehicle and the rte talent partied on Doireann Garrihys yacht, pepperridge farm remembers.
