    Throwing out numbers with nothing to back them up is useless

    What exactly is making up that number and what exactly is profit? if RTE is bringing in all these billions in advertisement and all the millions they get from tv license why are they always broke?

    Somehow I think Geraldine pulled some dodgy numbers together and will keep firing them out at every chance today so she doesn't have to answer questions.

    How much Geraldine has RTE spent on your husband to keep him amused at all these events? with zero revenue brought in from him

    About 20 or more years ago, the South Tipp Fianna Fail organisation thought the same about him.

    The establishment families who ran FF locally would never allow his name on the ballot.

    Mattie and his family/people ended up splitting and destroying FF in South Tipp and the party have never recovered.

    Mattie McGrath - ask your questions to specific people and not in general

    Marie Sherlock - well prepared

    This Sinn Fein senator Warfield - useless

    Its a bit useless but I suppose it does serve one purpose of kicking over a few rocks that the PAC will probably follow up on.

    For example, I don't for one second think the PAC will accept the CFO not stating what provision they had made. Commercially sensitive my hole.

    How do you think he gets elected every GE ?

    He gets votes from all sides in Ssouth Tipp. It appears regardless of education, occupation and even political views !

    I know it's hard to grasp but he plays a very strong game .

    I can't stand him personally but I know people whoI respect who will always vote for Mattie and its not just for the laugh ( although they do enjoy listening to him )

    He also has a very high speech count in the Dáil.

    Again I stress not my choice of TD but you can't dismiss the man as thick because of his strong mountainey accent.

    That subcontractor question came from nowhere, and could blow a hole in RTE good and proper.

    Never said he was a gom but he's supposed to be investigating and uncovering facts. Not grandstanding and asking the people their opinions about hypothetical questions.

    His 10 minutes achieved nothing apart from his supporters thinking he's hard hitting.

    Fintan is an example of safety measures for election. Aptitude tests should be a default before running plus a full physical as you represent us. We the people come first if you want to represent us. You come second. You need to be weighed and measured before you run.

    The new Golden Circle. MD is a smug one, needs someone with a good put down to wipe that smirk off her face. No one (I'd guess) likes to see a person kicked the way Munster can do, but I wish MD was on the receiving end of it. I hate smug and smirk. Apologies for getting personal here.

    What question was that?

    Mattie McGrath should be barred from these sessions - absolute waste of time he was.

    That's a bit much. Obviously he has a confidence issue but he's still asking the questions on the platform he was given.

    The boards have probably spent 100k in the last few days with consultants from all over Ireland to refine exactly how to answer these questions. of course via a barter account with tax payers money

    We got towards the mess that RTE is last week when they hadn't the prep done

    Today we are just getting the refined answers by consultant and loads of prep work done by the board.

    The little speeh just now about the RT money sent and the issue is only about undeclared money is to try take the focus off all the other cr*p RTE dont want to talk about

    We expect more than him just fumbling through prepared questions (without follow up, interrogation etc). Anyone can do that

    That sounds like it won't wash - a list of those who are prepared to release their earnings, and a list of those who aren't...... smacks of a "when did you stop beating your wife" sort of a scenario.

    Agree 100% with you, it was a poor performance. Don't agree with personal abuse, that's all.
