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

Thank the Lord for that RTee

I mean wasn’t the ‘funniest man on air’ trying to get McInerney to sing on air today.

They don’t come much stupider than that , one would suggest ?

That's fine but why do they need two presenters ? and why do the alternate during the summer months?

Due to cuts the best of Today will now be merged with Pat Short on the Telly

Last I hear, she had commissioned a report about a report.

Memo to staff from Kevin Bee: -

Finally, you may have noticed some coverage of yesterday's Joint Oireachtas Committee hearing which was attended by the Chair of the Board of RTÉ, Terence O'Rourke along with Company Secretary, Robert Shortt, Board member, Aideen Howard and RTÉ's HR Director, Eimear Cusack. While we are not in a position to provide additional comment while the process referred to yesterday by the Chair has not concluded, I can say that any settlement payments agreed by RTÉ will be in line with RTÉ's legal obligations, individual employment rights and in line with Comptroller and Auditor General Guidelines. I will provide more context at the next DG Town Hall in the coming weeks.

I foresee Kevin Bee and Terence O'Rourke exiting the company within the next 2 years. I don't think they have a grasp of the situation. The apology from TOR means little.

Don't worry it will apply to mobile phones broadband electricity etc.

Yep…join the Amish or sommit…..

To me this picture, just shows how out of touch everyone is with the normal person. Mark Little in the background hosting the event celebrating RTÉ NEWS's status as the most trusted news service in the country, all hail the new Caesar, tsar and so on. He has delivered so much in the past year!

I know it's part of the media game and the news moves on but I've never wanted more for a follow up than on the Dee Forbes situation.

It has happened countless times in this country but where somebody in a public scandal has "retired" or "taken legal advice". It's sickening they can just weasel off.

Really the media don't want to follow on, its not that a story has died but just simply they want people to move on.

For example, the most recent update on RTÉ is that potentially Jim Jennings is negotiating an exit. A week on surely the media have reached out and surely now he gets a doorstop or even a doorstop with the current DG, who was at an event in Dublin with the CnaM where he could have been door stopped, actually questioned.

The summer Dail recess is fast approaching. As is usual, the last outgoing story is last year's news and it's a clean slate when they come back in October. All she has to do is sit tight. It won't be sorted. I haven't paid my renewal as I reckon I'm just throwing money away to a bunch of wasters. I'll wait until I get a summons.

There is a reason why Glenroe never got repeated. IMO It seems that the actors union's terms are far too good. There is a reason Glenroe was axed it was too expensive for what it was.

Not that RTÉ ever thought of renegotiating repeat fees with the union. But I suppose repeats of Murder, She Wrote are better value for money or the Golden Girls. I think the summer time repeats of Ros Na Run ran in to similar problems.

Remember when RTÉ had to negotiate to get Fair City on their +1 channel and the player. Actors getting 100k for 30 weeks work.

The talk about the Grab All Association, in RTÉ its Real Talent needs Everything!

Seems like she was back today.

Knowing RTE, English will start in September after the Summer recess is over.
