RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

Its never ending. What next? A review into the cost of the review?

I’d rather stick my head in a bucket of cow shite than listen to one word she has to say. The oversize glasses, the arrogance. No wonder that organisation is in the ****. And spare me out the saved us all during covid. The got enough taxpayers money in advertising.

Yeah, the international markets just can't get enough of Baz, Kathryn and Francis Brennan

Moya Doherty is delushional, she still thinks Toy Show The Musical was a risk worth taking, despite it loosing €2.2 million and having a seperate free advert run of circa €1million, wtf. I suppose it's safe to assume they are continuing to pay massive storage fees for the TSTM set and costumes.

Collapse in licence fee revenue while Tubridy launches book for Marian Finucane's widower:

Still no broadcasting offers for Tubridy. No big podcast. No newspaper column.

whole place is up their own arse,,aye,"risk worth taking" sure,when its not your own money ffs...not a thing has changed since your man took over..every day theirs some new waste of money,cannes and amsterdam???for what...?check out the red carpet then amsterdam to blow a few joints?? time to close the place,few tech lads keep the equipment going,run a few films,news at 07:00,18:00 and 21:00 and keep it closed until all this shiet is sorted...

not half drastic enough,theyre still wizzing money away...and dont forget its our money...i dont know whos that o'shea lad?and he got a new free hair-do?ffs...if theyve all made these "arrangements" with whoever well then they must have enough arranged at this stage to f-off into the sunset...enough is enough at this stage

Moya Doherty off with the fairies.

This new lecture thing must have been really desperate if she was the main attraction.

I hear TD Stanley this morning advising RTE board and management that the PAC are going to go to war over this meeting memo that RTE are refusing to divulge. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Time for some home truths and the former DG would be well advised to get her ass in there and explain matters asap.

Former DG will NEVER give evidence to the PAC.

She is playing the mental health card so she doesn't have to answer for the mess she presided over for years. Waste upon waste of licence payers money. But as soon as she is asked to explain, she isn't well. She does a disservice to those with real health issues.

I went to the lecture last night. Everyone was just their to praise Gay Byrne. Her speech was playing to an audience of intellectuals or at least she was trying to be intellectual all about AI on the future of media.

It was all luvvy dovvy, I tried to make a statement but Pat Kenny tol me I as a bore.

No one interested in the vast wastes of money at RTÉ.

RTÉ are up **** creak and the sooner its gone the better IMO.

I think you are a bit over the top there, effendi..

As a National Broadcaster being funded by the taxpayer they have a mandate to put forward the Govt view.

Not agree with it … just put it forward and challenge it if necessary.

I feel they do this adequately….their own internal management style is another matter entirely.

The other problem is everything else. Moya is suggesting that RTÉ is spread to thinly but she believe that investing in Theatre was an appropriate risk, rather then spending that money on a TV drama or a film this would be risk but would also counter their public service remit and prevent the thinning out of money.

Again Moya Defends 2FM but why not mix Young People content with 2FM, again this spreads the money around adequately while continuing to support 2FM.

RTÉ seem to be of the view ... look look here aren't we great a doing this one thing... wasn't Uncle Gaybo great ... I'd say yes but it wasn't because of RTÉ and theirs not much else that comes from his era this is as fondly remembered.

The Royal TV Society Republic Of Ireland, it was open to the general public. Had been reported a few weeks back in the Irish Examiner.
