That's it ! everybody in RTE should be executed forthwith

Is it a misspelling of banter account?

Most corporates would be incurring costs for client entertainment but I guess there’s a distinction with RTÉ being publicly funded so you’d think they’d have had some controls around it, especially given the reputational risk of being associated with rubby & Murderpool FC. (Based on my understanding) I don’t think a barter account was intended to be used to fund jollies. It was funny seeing the Commercial Director defend the barter account in the hearing yesterday while pictures of her living it up on the barter account funded Rubby World Cup jaunt were simultaneously being posted on Twitter.

They’ve filleted her new man Mark Mehigan. From what I can gather he is a lie-about in his 30’s who can’t drive and masquerades as a comedian with occasional “Roasts” on Instagram. They reckon he must be from money or Doireann wouldn’t go near him.

So instead of paying money for a service or product, you do a trade. “I’ll give you 6 mars bars in June if you give me 3 bags of skittles now”.

They used have these barter companies that charge people to be part of their barter program. You can then get in contact with anyone else in the group and barter your product/services for theirs.

Fizzled out a bit as were lot more common 90s/early 00s but seems some value in it still to this day

That pair give me the ick

They’ve never had to deal with anything like this before.

Have they ever been in the WRC? No, because they deal with everything in house so nothing gets out into the public domain.

This is an organisation that kept, chips with beans and eggs as they main dinner in the staff canteen on a Friday cos Gay Byrne used to want it when he did the late late.

An organisation that left Gerry Ryan’s desk and chair untouched for years after he croaked it.

It’s a joke shop.

Surely the Gardai will need to question Forbes, Kelly & Tubridy if they don’t take up the invite to appear before the PAC.

Tubridys “we’re all in this together schtick” back in 2020 and 2021 was really something else.

He is a proper, proper cunt. Looking for extra cash at the expense of his RTE work collegues and the Irish general public all on the sly.

Some piece of work. Its no surprise he is very friendly with mates of @backinatracksuit

Who’ll be covering the extra seven (7) Late Late Show episodes next season that Patrick Kielty won’t be taking? Or are they downsizing and only going to have 30 shows now?

It was also small-minded cuntishness. Just like the Gerry Adams interview…but then Uncle Gaybo was a cunt.
