    Kieran: "I don't know about that story, and maybe that's a poor reflection on me."

    It is.

    Here's an idea, maybe RTE could have a caller driven show where people call in with their issues? Not the agenda of the presenter.

    I am going to say I really enjoyed todays Liveline. Unfortunately, I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons.

    You 💩 Kieran, he listed a number of topics that Liveline covered in the past week or so, anti-Semitism, racism, the death on Henry Street, the Dublin Rose of Tralee and more.

    They were all completely biased, and basically it was saying that Irish people are bad.

    And none were what people wanted to talk about. OK some people wanted to talk about them, but the vast majority did not care or were interested. And one topic should not have been aired to begin with.

    I'd such a great time during the celtic tiger, was just the right age, working, living at home (way beyond my means!) had an absolute blast. Luckily didn't get burned as wasn't old enough to really buy an apartment in Bulgaria.

    I am listening back to the podcast. It is just as interesting as the Dail Committee. False Accounting is not here to defend itself.

    Based on all this stuff going on in RTE it would appear that nobody, both some employees and some management

    had no clue…..no clue at all….. how to manage money.

    The boy Butters was right, the place was a shambles both in management and employee structures .

    People have been banging on about the way the place was run here on this site for yonks.

    Any semi - intelligent individual could see how out of kilter and shoddy the whole corporate package was.

    Like Humpty Dumpty the difficulty now will be putting pieces back to a cogent properly run entity.

    Will be extremely difficult .

    Derek Mooney presenting the today programme on TV this afternoon

    Only a coincidence that he'd be presenting something this week 🤔

    Probably produced it as well 🤔😁

    Ah, I don't mind Mooney, at least he knows something about his core subject.

    I'm reminded of the famous quote from Todd Andrews who was persuaded at the age of 65 to chair the RTE Authority by then Taoiseach Sean Lemass (having just retired from CIE). He was asked by reporters what he thought was the main difference between CIE & RTE.

    He replied 'RTE carries more passengers'.

    That was 1965. Plus ca change, as they say in Montrose.

    I don't think RTE was always that badly run. But I believe they are way overstaffed for their current level of output. In saying that, most of the staff are not on big money. There seems to be a lot of 'personal contracts' for those in the inner circle. A good friend of the family presented a number of historical documentaries in the late 80s - early 90s, the days of educational programming. He made these with both the BBC and RTE and would talk about how tight RTE was with money. They would have crew of about 4/5 out filming (Himself, Camera, Sound, Director), with every penny watched. While with the BBC there would be 12 people on the crew, and no money issues within reason. Of course, these days there YouTubers producing professional historical documentaries as a one man show.

    I went in to secondary school in France for a few weeks. The unisex jacks were a row of about 20 or more individual cubicles, with a low wall in front. This wall had the sinks attached. Where there would have been mirrors above the sinks was open for all to see. This was horror of horrors an outside jacks, that opened to on one of the main school yards. Your wan would have an conniption as such a setup.

    Actually, I wonder has she even been in UCD's Swimming pool changing room?

    All these systems work well with no issues.

    No Sandra it’s not of national interest. Only of interest to you.
