RTÉ admits paying Tubridy €345,000 more than declared

Car allowance is a separate thing from someone having the loan of a car for 5 years.

Doherty sounds like a real Donegal woman hmm

Has Anne O'Leary been purposely left in Montrose because she is less likely to interject or get questioned remotely than in person. She was very co-operative last week.

Ive no problem with RTE going out and trying to maximise commercial revenue by wining and dining clients, it’s part of the business - and presumably this is required to get the biggest clients they can get.

But it’s clear that there needs to be segregation in RTE of what is publicly and privately funded. Sticking it all in the same pot gives the impression that public money is essentially petty cash to them.

Staff member had car deal whilst also having allowance- "is what they said on RTE website"

After Timmy Dooley asks about brand ambassador deals, and whether someone who was in receipt of a car allowance also had such deals, Interim Deputy Director General Adrian Lynch tells the committee he was aware of one instance where a staff member had a "loan of a car".

"My understanding is that car has been returned," he said.

Asked about the period of the loan, Mr Lynch said it was "for five years" and that it was "not approved".

He adds that the car was only returned yesterday.

Fintan, Matty and Fintan should be dropped to the subs bench for the next day

Ah fck off Moya.

"Toy Story, the musical" sez yer man.

Jaysus, Moya - has she any idea how condescending and patronising she comes across???

For someone who clearly has plenty of media training, she really needs to read the room and adjust her tone accordingly.

GOL has had little to 0 input since the mental health card was thrown out.

I believe she is the most important person present.

Anne O’Leary, had to give up the car and didn't have time to pick up a Leap card to get the bus in. That's why she's dialing in on Zoom 😉

I know of 1 member of contractor staff whos show was previously sponsored by X car company and his/her/them/it also drives a car of same brand as X company and mentioning driving such car numerous times on his/her/them/its show.

I didn't think contractors got car allowances but perhaps they did some years back.

Moya Mao
