Ivan Yates

I find it good. But then you could argue that I’m a bit of a cunt.

Yeah, I enjoyed it too. You know Yates is a spoofer, but he’s entertaining, with Cooper the straight man. I wouldn’t dream of paying for the subscription episode. Surprised at Cooper throwing his toys out of the pram to such an extent after relatively minor story

Ah you’re alright chief

Did Yates not humiliate and cuckold him?

He wasn’t too far off with this prediction to be fair

I only got it a month ago, will get rid now though

Ah it’s a bit more than a minor story now if Cooper didn’t know about it either

The bigger issue is surely the training provided was so bad that yates has no credibility

Ivan’s son said on Twitter that if they were to to do it again, they’d have paid that tenant up, sat in on a few international relations lectures in UCD and Jim would’ve been drunk 70% of the time to appear more personable.

If they were to do it again, they’re targeting architects and it’ll be either Dermot Bannon or Hugh Wallace.

Eh, what does Ivan’s son do exactly?

Think he works in the backroom at Bus Eireann

That’s where we should be getting our political advice

Bets of dogs and horses

I wonder whether Yatesy & Gentleman Jim has crossed paths before Jim’s really boring appearance at the Wexford GGA Gamechangers lunch last year when Ivan’s hilarity as MC & interviewer sickened my hole. They were deep in conversation after the event anyway & isn’t that what these things are for? Taking some LEARNINGS & networking.

Hurling for cancer maybe

Matt covered this earlier on the radio, he seemed pretty shocked when Niall Collins admitted getting media training from Ivan. Seems Ivan has been very busy in the background advising FF ministers and never mentioned it to anyone.

How much would he have got for his 4 hours of coaching Jim Gavin? 2 grand?

Short sighted enough to burn regular gigs for that

I’d say he’d be charging more than €500 an hour. Possibly more than 2x that? Any communications & media &/or business coaching types on TFK to confirm rates at top end of the market?

I doubt Yatesy would get out of bed for less than 2k per day.
