Live: RTE executives quizzed over payments scandal as Deputy DG speaks about Ryan Tubridy's future

[@gascraiccraic3857]

full clear out.....

[@yorkymc]

and how right now for sure

[@niallcanty]

It's time for C.A.B to go into RTE and find out what were the money went to ??

[@MrHotlipsholohan]

A social set who thought they were Gods , " the I AM " syndrome ,

[@krisneville6307]

Amazing....... No one was involved

[@irishguy200007]

As Ronnie claimed I don't remember

[@bartasbxx]

Over 2500 people need to pay for the TV license so that ONE prick can get a salary... Let that sink in... Meanwhile working class has a hard time getting the ends meet with all the "inflation"... I'm getting rid of my TV.

[@Kenny-zn6dl]

You're right and here's another one for you, 2156 people including me and probably you paid for tubridy's 'top up' !!!!! But we will go to jail if "we" don't pay it, like the banks in this stinking rotten corrupt country of ours, the government need to take ownership and sack the entire rte board and management immediately.

[@chrisquirke5235]

Done it ,real t v ,good tv died a long time ago ,don't miss it at all

[@marykelly9698]

I'm not watching rte ever again

[@alizahoorbhatti]

Interesting remarks by everyone. All the people who were the key decision makers and sanctioned these payments should be named and should be investigated and if found at fault, prosecuted in accordance with the laws.

[@bobbybob2599]

FIRE THE LOT😅😅😅

[@nwoerad3806]

It's a kick in the teeth for everyone who paid their licence fee, should be refunded,I will not be paying again for a licence,when I think of the people who couldn't pay and went to prison for these jokers who had a good time at everybody's expensive.

[@vinlennox7658]

Kick in the teeth. That Ryan Tubridy makes more money than you or me. Wtf is wrong with folk. All begrudgery and jealousy is all this so called 'scandal ' is

[@cheapy2006]

Ryan Puberty won't be back, he's forever besmirched and he's up to his bollix in all of this.

[@vinlennox7658]

Besmirched? What did the man do? He made miles more money than you and me. Some of it was cloaked up. A bit. I liked his Late Late. A lot of people did. He did a good job during Covid when the show badly missed its live audience. But instead of judging the man on performance let's knock him over money and jealousy and begrudgery . When will all these hypocrites shut up. Make me sick

[@leprechaun7667]

​@@vinlennox7658😂😂😂shut up will ya defending the clown. Its probably you tubs.....

[@cheapy2006]

@@vinlennox7658 If I have to explain to you what is completely WRONG wit Tubridy etc al, well there's no point talking to you. Yer either a misguided precocious teenager, or a misguided and somewhat childish adult. RTE is shit. The LLS is shit. The likes of Ray D'Arcy and Tubs look upon you with contempt.

[@00ky]

@@vinlennox7658Ryan Tubridy engaged in this lofty, preaching, holier than thou persona to us all while negotiating a deal for himself with his colleagues in RTE suffering with real pay cuts. He knew (or ought to have known that) he was getting more money than was disclosed but kept silent - again preaching to everyone that it would all be okay

[@kenfox20]

I’m next to sure my father done a day or two in mountjoy prison for not having a tv licence. I just glad he didn’t pay it and pay towards these snobby bastards life styles.

[@mikepurdy1738]

To jail with them, as it would be for me if I fiddled my books

[@krisneville6307]

Why should the Irish people pay for a TV licence

[@sarah-jane4951]

They referred to the people (TV licence payer) as the customer. Customers usually contract. I didn't sign a contract (don't pay a licence but did previously)..there is no lawful obligation to pay a licence.

[@wicklowmountains8618]

Why would anyone in their right mind pay any Mainstream Media for lies, propaganda and cover ups that have dragged this country into ruins ?

[@vinlennox7658]

Because you watch the tv. Why would you pay a Sky subscription??

[@krisneville6307]

Now tv all the way😅

[@Orillionn]

Tubs needs a new yacht ⛵

[@desobrien6136]

Stall and delay, how can these members of senior management keep thier jobs. Jusr bkaming Dee Forbes doesn't wash.

[@kearneyIT]

RTE actually stands for - Ryan Tubertys Expenses!!

[@CathleenHarty-jq6zs]

GET RID OF THAT DOLLY(GREY HAIR)❗DISCRACEFUL❗💯WOULD NOT TRUST TO ORGANISE A **HOT BATH**❗

[@nickjohns1192]

🤣🤣🤣👌

[@MrHotlipsholohan]

What a tulip that Tubrity turned out to be eh , talk about greed

[@100thmegapixel]

From now on it will be just like with Irish Water bills. People will be protesting against paying for them.

[@maireuithiomain9770]

Why was only one person considered for the role of New D.G

[@chrisquirke5235]

"Deceit television " the "talent" is in the accounts committee. Nepotism at work ,resign a dirty word around Dublin 4,gate the lot of them .down the road with them all ,run them .

THE SO CALLED BOARD**SHOWN THE F_____G DOOR/ +FRAUD SQUAD❓💯

[@yorkymc]

Just started to watch this holy God what a bunch of Cowboys this lot ran OUR NATIONAL RTE company .

[@marykelly9698]

It's been going on for years

[@rozdoyle8872]

I am beginning to think this Noel Kelly has total control over all these players , what does he know about some goings on in their lives ? All caught in the head lights now , Why ? As these questions proceed I am now coming round to thinking that there was something very shady going on between 2 individuals that caused all this , the truth will wash to the surface eventually.

[@michaelcassidy1864]

Lynch seems to be having a fine old time, thoroughly enjoying himself and actually pleased with himself.

It's Ireland this is what goes on that's the kind of people gets the TOP Jobs 😢

[@ZZ-bz4st]

Just watching RTE now with Nevin Maguire Greenways Food Trails - This man is a multi millionaire and he's pulling a wage out of our TV licence? How is is this not being talk about??

[@trayns0078]

What?

[@ZZ-bz4st]

@@trayns0078 yeah, this man is a millionaire who gets to fly and dine around the world, and we pay for it. I wonder has his family joined him on these journeys and where they paid for also!! He’s never off the TV or radio selling his books or his restaurant!! Something’s not right there !!

[@Jim54_]

According to RTE every national issue is a ‘crisis’. Very telling that they are not labelling this Fiasco as such 😂.

[@eamonreidy9534]

Oh to one day get a high paying job that allows me to be incompetent or miss basic things

[@darylmctigue]

I wish the politicians were as upset about the amount of money politicians get along with expenses and subsidised lunches. Will they publish there salaries and expenses on a monthly basis for full transparency

[@chrstopherbrown842]

Im sure ryan knows what to say after hearing all mates talk.legel action must be taken or there will be mas protest by all the public.

[@maireuithiomain9770]

I do not have confidence in Siún Ní R. She smiles and smirks and I believe she knows more than she is prepared to admit to.

[@paulkavanagh9781]

I can see the pain and hurt on Robert Shortt's face, I am sure it reflects the staff's opinion all these people's moral compass is screwed up. Ms Terry Prone hit the nail on the head during the week. sorry state of affairs.

[@vinlennox7658]

Why do you care what a TV personality makes? Do you think he should make no more than you.? Is that it?? Wtf are u guys on about. Scandal my ass

[@josephmcdonnell402]

Fill your boot T

[@irishguy200007]

D Talent has left D building. Sir, the dog are my homework.

[@carmelmeeneghan9618]

No communication or accountability. But for RT having an agent he wouldn't have got that money either. Agent working for the best deal for his client. That is what he is supposed to do. Both cleared of no wrongdoing.

[@Siobhán-c3p]

Lack of transparency 😂😂😂is everywhere in RTE & this government. 😮😮

[@maireuithiomain9770]

Time is of the essence for crying out loud. Let them answer the questions.

[@carmelmeeneghan9618]

Quiet obvious it was at the top the errors were made. RT was only an employer paying his own tax n PRSI so it was wrong to make a scapegoat of him.

[@maireuithiomain9770]

Did politicians claim expenses and pensions over the pandemic?

[@PaulByrne-u2d]

the bloke letting on not to know when he started his job, is a right bellend. it was only 2 years ago, chancers

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Im findings this unprofessional tone of questioning totally pathetic. It`s like a gang of gombeens having their chance to give D4 a kicking. This is much more serious than some local circus and serious professionals need to enter into this what is looking like the local hoohaa kicking the big townie nonsense. Let this case be judged by adults and not gombeens from all parties with a vendetta. It`s like an arguement in a country bar where you ask a question and give the answer to your own question because you do not know the follow up intelligent question to land a proper punch. This is totally pathetic but not surprising. Slainte.

[@mediolanumhibernicus3353]

Matty McGrath is totally incoherent.

[@chrstopherbrown842]

Is anyone in rte going to be jailed.this was fraud.late late shows back in September.well ill never wat xh it or pay licence
