RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

The problem, as with a lot of politicians, is that RTE is a business and she's not a businessperson. That means that there's a steep learning curve for any new minister without a business background such as Martin. RTE is also a highly dysfunctional business so she is completely out of her depth. A competent minister would have immediately taken action to stop the whole thing exploding. Tubridy was the tip of the iceberg and now RTE has been holed below the water line. It doesn't matter what Martin does because people will not be happy. Either the RTE management faces "incentivised redundancies" or the government TDs will at the next GE.

Oh Cleudo

You haven't a clue

I actually have a life not glued to phone/boards etc so replying not replying is irrelevant.

Another one of mcsavages 'fans'🥴🥴

I see the puff pieces are still being churned out on a daily basis and lots of mentions of possible jobs - But, but he already has a fantastic 100% genuine offer from Classic hits for €170k pa...

...doesn't he?

Slightly off topic but looking at a bit of this Dr Cassidy's casebook stuff on RTE atm...

Jaysus, a lad would be forgiven for thinking the doc may have been snaffled up by a talent management agent of note -

No love for RTE at the moment and Ivan Yates will be digging his boot in shortly.

Absolutely! As things are going RTE will be bankrupt before the year's end.

I happened to come across one the puff pieces about RT's trip to England, over the weekend on Facebook. Usual cringe, self indulgent shite. But what got me was the love in in the comments for him. I'm amazed so many people have fallen for his fake persona and how they hang on his every word. There really is a large gullible section of society out there.

Did anyone get the number that flashed up on screen, to send in comments over what app?

That Green TD is waffling saying we had never paid for water before. We did pay for water as some of our taxes was supposed to be ring fenced to pay for our water. It's not our fault that this was not done.

Of course there has to be redundancies. Ridiculous conversation.

RTE is broke!

Ivan Yates is talking so much sense.

Martin does not want to put her head above the parapet as she would then have to do something.
