Dee Forbes banging the RTE TV licence drum again 60m uncollected fee *poll not working - pl ignore*

Not many signs of cutbacks or salary reductions in the ad to replace the retiring Eileen Magnier as north west correspondent. And clearly a closed shop:

The appointment will be for two years initially on a fixed term full-time basis, renewable once for a maximum of three additional years. The salary scale is €70,070 to €95,521 per annum.

This vacancy is open to internal candidates only.

Should Kevin not be on the phone with Dee, asking did she perhaps have these invoices in her purse by mistake when she left?

Or maybe she might know who has them or where they are?

If not, then he himself should be calling in revenue or the Garda Fraud , If he as the Director suspects employees (Current/Past) were involved in criminal activity, it's it his job to report it?

As can be seen in the Huw Edwards scandal, behaviour that is inappropriate or unethical isn't always illegal.

So could a member of the public make the accusation seeing as it was public money ?

How would one go about this ?

I doubt that anyone in a higher position would be treated like TV3's employee

Well it would save them having to go into the City to report the news and the Fair City outdoor set will be free this summer, and in August RTÉ is pretty much deserted.

Then each tent can have a TV and RTÉ can charge them 160 euro.

She reported from the Book of Kells :)

No he had a deal with on the Bookshell with Tubs, so he can't speak to other media. And Paul Howard is Tubs guest this week.

Not to defend RTÉ, but the series is on series 17, they are looking for a new programme that will replace OT, I am guessing they will go for something similar.

I imagine they are going to try something similar TBH. I some how doubt that they are letting go of the series fully. I imagine they will probably integrate it even more into Ray D'Arcy's fun runs. IMO RTÉ failed to produce a similar show in the last 2 years that may have replaced OT. But I imagine a new lifestyle type weight positive programme come Jan next year.

You know …. if this is the case … you can probable search google to find Dee Forbes extoling the virtues of Reeling in the Years and the introduction of The Way We Were and Keys To My Life.

Their new show

"Pop culture: that's barely even pop culture in Ireland that might have been nostalgic in the 2000s… well possibly the 1990s and even then we weren't impressed"

RTÉ delve yet again into their archive with this new series starting with a look at that 1990s archive show "Raiders of the Lost Archive", in the second episode producers of "Reeling in the Year" go through the process of developing the epic show over the last 25 years as the decades role on.

A five part series will also see interviews with Pat Shortt as he looks back on his "On d'Telly" series, while a host of celebrities take a look back on their interviews on Keys to My Life.

Mike Murphy then looks back at iconic nostalgic series such as "Gaybo Laugh's Back", "Reeling in the Years" and "The Best of Today with Maura and Dathi" with a few interruptions from his show "The Live Mike". You'll never believe how trendy Fr Ted was back in the early 1980s.

Guest presenters include Fiona Looney, Fintan O'Toole, Brendan O'Connor and Katherine Lynch.
