Peak earnings? You sure?? Mr Collins earned a hell of a lot more than that!!! Double it I’d guess…
There is a gap in his linked in? Possibly a pay off??? 2 years walk away be ok if you settled for just the €200k a year and a cushy job in RTE.

You’d guess? He worked as a finance underling for the tightest corporate in Ireland, try again.
Again though, why is Brolly still bullying this fella on social media? He got his public humiliation and effective demotion because he looked gormless on tv. He might well be out the door in private- that’s enough for a guy there barely a couple of years largely paying for the sins of an organisation that has had its issues back when Brolly was a contractor there and was saying nothing about it.
Again, I never heard a word from Brolly when his mate was claiming the COVID subsidy because he couldn’t go on the tv. I don’t see Brolly disclosing what he got paid from RTÉ. But some mediocre smuck deserves to get bulled by Brolly further just because he can.
He is “Ireland” indeed…:
And it’s with that Ebeneezer Goode confirmed Tim Riggins knew fuck all.

Did you get excited when the nipper got a job in Dunnes?
About as excited as your mate in FG when he called them in about the cost of living and they told him to fuck off and get real…
You won’t read about that though
Which mate? I don’t have any political “mates”- I’ll leave that to you and the murdering scum you support.
Anyway, you still haven’t detailed why it’s acceptable for Brolly to be going on about the RTÉ CFO weeks after the chap made a tit of himself. It’s because he’s a natural bully…that appeals to some I suppose.
I walked around Malahide with Darragh O’Brien o my shoulders but he’s no murderer… cc @thedancingbaby / @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy

Joe certainly didn’t have it easy. He’s a very gentle, flawed insightful and principled individual, and a bit of a bollix at times. In the last episode he was open about how much the claire byrne trap/set-up hurt him, but i doubt that’s why he’s going after kelly, tubs etc. He’s simply just as outraged as any sensible person should be. Tens of millions were siphoned off by these elitist mediocrities- a crowd of shysters who look down their noses at and steal from everyone from the canteen staff to the people of louth.
He’s obviously enjoying exposing the absurdity of tubridy’s preposterous platitudes, and why the fuck shouldn’t he? A creep who preached poverty , lied to the public and then sickened us with talk of his special soul and poverty stricken children.
Joe or ryan for president- gwan somebody and set up a poll

“Principled” 
His excuse was great.
He was the “only one” criticising pay tv.
Alas though he had to give up that principled stance. It just so happened to coincide with him getting shitcanned from RTÉ but that had nothing to do with it.
Once you fire some stranger one of your livers you can basically do what you want

Gavin Cooney has been mentioned several times in this thread.
I’ve genuinely never heard of him. Who is he?
He’s a sports journalist with the 42. Good writer. Has been annointed the new tom Humphreys 
Keith duggan malachy clerkin I’d say. Vincent Hogan name checked him as best young journalist in his podcast there recently

Informative, thanks.
He seems to draw a lot of opprobrium here. Presumably due to some of his opinions?
Id imagine he’s vaguely left wing
Joe and Dion could do a brilliant podcast on Dion’s father being the editor who turned the Sunday indo rabidly anti republican anti SF anti public sector unions etc. Maybe Dion doesn’t agree with that stance just as Joe doesn’t seem to agree with his dad’s IRA activities but that would be interesting in its own right. The sins of the father etc

I listened to part 1 just there, Joe is very bitter despite he saying at the end that he isn’t
He got Lotties name right first time and then called her Lotto twice despite being corrected, terribly childish. Massive fan of Gaybo though.
I suspect that Noel Kelly represents an awful lot of media type personalities in the country, Almost all of them, then Joe is shocked that NK clients are presenting most of the RTE prime time shows , come off it 
Would Tubs have decided the line up for the LLS?
Noel has a monopoly- is that what you’re saying? So we end up with nk clients interviewing nk guests, nk panel members and nk panel hosts, nk clients surreptiously advertising what brands they choose and nk clients reporting on nk business dealings.
Nothing to see here …childish emoji etc.
Onto the second episode now,
How can they discuss nepotism seriously when Dion Fanning is in the studio
Joe absolutely loves himself, the fact that he didn’t know Doireann Garrihy is some sort of currency?
It’s just a repeat of part 1?
