RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

I think in fairness many have engaged with you, and even those who are kind of mean to Ryan have been quite good outlining where they might see him.

I don't think you can convince people that Ryan was a great broadcaster, I may not think this, but I think it is subjective.

Do I think he could launch a podcast, I think others are right to say it would have to be something very different to what he does on Radio. It's a lot of work and he would really need to sit down now to work it out. It would be a massive long term investment.

In the last few days the posters here haven’t exactly been “passionate” about kicking Tubridy- more just matter of fact - he did wrong he has to go kind of thing - I don’t think anyone is wishing him bad now that he’s left- I’d say even “fans” of Tubridy are probably saying, “while I don’t like that he’s gone I can understand why he had to go “-

I’d guess a lot of people in Ireland feel similar .

Podcast won't work for Tubs. Not interesting enough.

He has a profile, I will give him that. Could he do a series of high profile tv interviews with another broadcaster, a limited run of maybe 6 very high profile people?

Now he is a terrible interviewer and it says something that this is still the only thing I can see him doing but if he could line up top top guests and do well prepared interview, it would get an audience..... a way back possibly.

Perhaps he could introduce the guests for the Tommy Tiernan show?.......70K per guest though 😁😁😁

He had 19 years of people being lined up for him for interviews and he made a balls of it. 5 years of Tubridy Tonight and 14 of the LLS.

We've mentioned it ad nauseum for nigh on a decade or more; almost every time he gets a major name he makes a mess of it due to nerves. He's often arrogant and condescending when things start to go wrong (Juliette Binoche) and is a bully when he thinks he's above someone.

Any time someone says something he disagrees with, he's straight in with an interruption. If there's one job he's terrible at, it's actually interviewing people on a serious level.

He does little to no prep and I've no cause to believe that after 30 years of mediocrity that he'll suddenly start to get his finger out and do some serious hours in preparation. He had a golden goose and he killed it.

was the owl with NKM?

I don't think he'd ask me, but obviously I think it would be a good opportunity. I do know you are being sarcastic towards me, and there's no need to be like that.

Surely "The Boy Who Would be President" - a gripping sequel to his first Booker Prize winning novel Patrick and the President (for all ages under 6 years)

Rid of the owl.

Rid of the Ghoul.

Bye Tubs.

Surely I can't be banned for this? 😂

Warned. Threadbanned poster.

Chairman Moya might be back before the PAC and the Media committee again along with Forbes. The whole RTE fiasco is not over just because Tubridy was dumped. Politically, it has become a major problem due to RTE's financial management, corporate management and waste. People have not been renewing their TV licences and the figures for last week's "sales" should be out in the next day or two. Tubridy may have become the face of the scandal but it is far from over.

Or Patrick and The Warren Commission, where young Patrick, on holiday visiting his aunt in America in the 60s, gets caught up in the investigation into JFK's assassination.

Me: Monika, display an image of ryan Tubridy in a mankini.

Monika: Im sorry. Doing that would violate my requirements.

Clearly Monika's interpretation of the laws of robotics extends to not showing RT in the near nip..

Not sarcastic at all- you’re the one spouting rubbish about his talents- like I said offer to fund his first venture if he’s so bloody talented
