    "No one's better than anyone else". Except when it comes to being paid, that is.

    OMG

    They are being allowed a farewell swansong as if Tubridy is hosting a show!

    I'm not blaming them at all, I'm blaming the absolutely useless bunch of 'lawmakers'!

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Here comes Richard Boyd Barrett ready to fire the bullets while stating he is just doing his job.

    RBB - it was an organised deception, and questioned the emails with the 75k. First mentions of the 75k was by Noel Kelly. The negotiation meant that the pay cut effectively did not happen - and had a meeting with his client (Tubridy). It looks like pushing against everything to mitigate against the pay cut

    Kelly - it was a third party negotiation with RTE

    RBB- the FIRST mention of the 75k was you

    Kelly - I was responding to RTE point 4 etc

    RBB - it does not look that way

    RBB - why was the contract not signed? On etc etc

    RBB - mentions massive pay gaps in RTE

    (Eugene Murphy (S) took over questioning.

    Tubridy - it has all changed now, I hope it will be a new world order - wants to be part of the change/catharsis of RTE.


    Tubridy Wants to take the word 'talent' to be taken off the contracts because he hates that word

    --

    Eugene Murphy (S) - is it a three card trick? Or shady deal? Do you regret not being an employee instead of a contractor?

    Kelly (exasperated) - I kept asking RTE could you please inform us when the salaries were published? Half an hour notice given to me - and they did not make the changes

    --

    And with that Noel Kelly and Tubridy are released back into the wild again...

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    You can’t lose something you never had.

    "Yes, the salary is enormous, I understand that, but that doesn't affect my soul," says Ryan Tubridy, when asked by Senator Marie Sherlock if his integrity has been damaged.

    He was feeling sorry them by his standards - came in last minute and only had read some of the emails.

    Tubridy must be one of the people in the country so bad at maths that they can't calculate how much money they earn.

    His reputation which was mentioned was the trust the viewers have in him to do a good radio programme. I’m not for one minute suggesting he’s not done good things and helped people, but that wasn’t been asked.

    It started off bad tempered and hasn’t got any better. There’s a lot of angry men who simply cannot acknowledge that The Tubmeister General and NK did very well today in the face of sometimes deeply rude questioning (Imelda Munster in particular made a show of herself).

    The thing about outrage is it burns out quickly. The all-day anger merchants will then move onto something else.

    Long day for the lads in fairness. Let's not forget their stooges on here; a long day for them also. They're the real talent, as Ryan might say.

    If one good thing comes out of today; it's that we might never hear from Mr Tubridy again.

    They’re all elected so at least they have that standing. I don’t know where you get the authority or informed opinion to describe them as “thick as pigshyte”.

    Don’t know what a “whacker” is? Is that a Dub or anyone from a big town or small city ( there are no big cities in Ireland). Also what’s this 50/50 thing? Are you saying that the committees should have 50/50 representatives from city areas and country areas like as if they’re a different species or something. What is this nonsense about?

    Tubridy is like a newsagents I knew, back in the days of all cash, notorious for giving the wrong change. Always always always in favour of the shop. They'd pay up ^immediately^ if challenged, so everyone knew it was deliberate.

    Fair play to RT and NK offering to help the committee.

    i think this transparency is to be applauded.


    However, I think they did themselves no favours today.


    I think Tubs career at RTE is over.


    Thanks for all the laughter, tears, joy, hope and for keeping us all alive during the pandemic.
