    Joe would be included in the 55 On Air Ltd companies.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    TD’s and their support staff get the €4.4 million paid out to staff of TDs who left Leinster House following the last election

    199 former staff shared in the redundancy payouts, with eight ex-employees receiving packages worth more than €100,000 apiece.

    Not just for RTE apparently.

    If TD’s make a big deal about this, maybe they should sort out their own house first.

    So Rory Coveney squanders 2million, resigns from RTE and gets a “package”, and RTE can’t disclose how much he got.

    Seems that nothing has changed in RTE

    Surely not providing the information when requested has to be fraud. Surely the management need to provide financial information when requested by relevant parties.

    This FG Senator is being unfair on the Risk person, fair play to her for standing up to him.

    On the same reasoning, I could never understand how Siun was allowed on the RTE Board.

    It comes across that Coveney was paid to leave. I hate that, they should have left him there to rot

    Throwing around public money like there's no tomorrow and being able to keep the actual amounts to each person secret and this is after the goings on of the last year, wtf.

    I am sure there are many TDs, sports referees and people in a whole host of other roles who would love to be anonymous due to the nature of their work. There are some ugly people out there, who can take professional decisions personally.

    If you want anonymity, don't join the board of the National Broadcaster.

    There should be anonymity in any public role and this should be made clear to anyone taking up the roles.

    106 tickets sold in August, that wouldn't even cover the electricity needed to run the ad for the month.

    The chair is very strong on the deception narrative.

    Forbes and Coveney need to answer a lot of questions.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    The comment made with a laugh when they said they were going over time that "We'll delay our taxis no worries," taxis being paid by RTE for each and everyone of these out of taxpayers money would boil your blood.

    She didn't hold back. Can't blame her, some of the Senior Management like Anne O'Leary tried to do their job but when those above her are hiding stuff what are they do. Others where just ticking boxes so they could say if the crap hit the fan we asked the questions.

    Timmy Dooley "no one benefited from this", they did, they were living a life of luxury and enriching their mates and then when they left were given golden handshakes. So they did benefit from this.
