The Barter account system sounds like it’s rife for abuse.
Murky stuff
At least Gordon was telling the truth!
And finance supposedly had no sight of it! How were the accounts signed off for the past few years? Presumably someone in finance was the whistleblower when they couldn’t get access.

Dee only taking, ahem, “responsibility” for payments from 2020 onwards.
Tubridy is some hypocritical cunt all the same, as @TreatyStones eloquently pointed out yesterday. Assumed a preachy “do the right thing, we’re all in it together” position a while back, albeit in a covid context. And often spoke in another context about how he stopped using Twitter as there was a growing lack of decency & kindness in society. Is there any togetherness, decency or kindness in negotiating grubby side deals to line your own pockets while many colleagues are being made redundant, budgets are being cut, regional studios being closed & several public service programmes cancelled & associated jobs lost? I don’t know if they can pin anything on him legally, or even in a workplace gross misconduct type scenario so they could be left paying him his exorbitant salary on an ongoing basis. Surely no sensible person or advertiser would want to be associated with him now though & I think it’s fair game to verbally abuse him on the street. As an aside, the RTE salaries 10-15 years ago around the time of the financial crash were absolutely obscene. Tubridy was actually claiming credit for accepting previous reductions from his 2013 salary level which was €723k. I recall Pat Kenny comparing himself to Manchester United back then & saying you had to pay the top talent the top salaries.

As Scooby Doo would say Ruh Roh, if Mark Tighe is sniffing around this then a lot of bodies in RTE will be uncomfortable…
This story has miles more to run and run yet.
Pretty much silence from other members of the Top 10 ‘talent’ so far. Tubridy should do the honourable thing and follow his mate Donie to CNN to act as his gofer.

He isnt an employee though so as soon as the contract is up he has to go
The whole lot of the big earners should face massive pay cuts as people are sick of the lot of them.
Id be seething if i was an employee taking pay cuts when these cunts were being paud extra in secret and for what, as if tubridy was talented and not there just for nepotism

Isn’t Duffy an independent contractor that’s only on a years deal?
I remember him whinging about how tough it is to have no job certainty.

I don’t know why, but I don’t mind BOC.
I had a few pints in the local last night and this was up for discussion. Joe Duffy seemed to be the man they all wanted to be caught up in it next.
