RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

im thinking similarly now. Circling the wagons in full swing as predicted.

RTE Board report landing now. Absolutely buries Dee Forbes

The Board are - still - oh so proud of their fancy Audit and Risk Committee BUT do not mention that it was only recently magic'ed into existence just-in-time for this crisis

They state that no one other than the DG had info needed to know RT salary was incorrectly reported. BUT of course don't mention that is because they were deliberately ignoring presenter contracts. 

LOL!!!

I dont believe Dee Forbes was the only person that knew about this. Tomorrow should be good.

The only person that can answer questions is not attending the PAC.

And Ryan knew the published figures were wrong so they need to state that.

Dee Forbes will give her side in time. Long way to run yet.

An independent investigation is needed.

Ryan won't be on the radio for a long long time.

They expect us to believe that NK never said anything to his client about money coming his way and how it was coming? Expect us to believe that Tubs knew nothing about anything? That the contract is fine and dandy. And it was all best practice during covid. There wasn't one rule for one and another rule for others. All hunky dory apart from DF.

Let's dismiss everything said by the rest of the employees today. We're doing everything just fine, Jack. Got rid of the bad egg.

Ha ha you're trying too hard thus making it so obvious.

It seems unbelievable if Noel Kelly doesn't comment publicly on this.

If revenue were to ask me where I got my money and I said "I didnt know i got all that money", would they believe me?

Next Tubbs will be saying he doesnt have a bank account and wins money on the horses

Yes, very hard to believe that Tubridy had no knowledge of how his secret payments were being operated. Why would his agent not inform him....to what end? The agent himself didn't stand to benefit either way whether RT knew or didn't know how the payments worked.

As expected and as I said this morning - nothing to see here. Was all agreed and any questions laid at the feet of the one person who can't be called apparently.

No surprise. This is establishment Ireland! Come on.. Did ANYONE in the audience expect any different?

"Lessons will be learned", "trust will need to be rebuilt" etc now, but very little will actually change and everyone moves on.

Handy distraction for the last few days though!

Tubridy has a 5 year contract with RTE since 2020.

Report says that Tubs wasn't aware of the credit note arrangement. Really a matter for his agent to get him the best payments from various sources. I believe that he didn't take much notice of where his monies were coming from especially as he was earning a fair bit.

According to that he came in after these agreements, and it was his predecessor who retired in 2020.

Dee Forbes oh it was the people before me

CFO oh she's retired now

HR I know nothing

Content I was there at the meetings

Commercial Just obeying orders

Strategy No idea, why would I want to know I just make strategy for the best us of RTÉ!

CTO I am an AI at this point

Channels No idea (but he comes across that way, give him a promotion to Deputy DG)

and so on .
