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

Looks like NK couldn’t attract the British pound here.

Has oul Tubs not been completely exonerated by the GT report?

They had a chance to get rod and shouldve taken it. The licence fee payments will drop again if he goes back

Dont think so. Dodgy practice. Aside from that, it seems that, in their haste to resign from the lls before it all came out, himself and the superagent left him without a contract! It’s beautiful.

Yep, he was out of contract and had already stepped down from the Late Late. Why go through the hassle of bringing him back to do a one hour show. Would probably be easier to change the schedule slightly or just replace him.

HBO are offering him millions I heard

Can imagine Kelly was ringing up itv, bbc etc and getting a “Ryan who?” Reply the last few months.

Looks like from my reading of it. They accrued for the 120k then reversed it against the salary cost when the fee was waived.

Tubridy has always said he was a home bird, even if he was able to take a gig elsewhere it wouldn’t have appealed to him, 200k a year is plenty

Why in God’s name is yer man Bakhurst even entertaining having this lying scrote back on the airwaves? Strange carry on from “new RTÉ”.

Good to get a level headed take on this. The ATM crowd were moving back onto tubs at a rate of knots

I’d imagine he cant now due to his star being dulled by this entire charade.

Wasnt plenty up to now. Just goes to show the worm he is.

Absolutely no need. Disgraceful in fact.

WTF

Probably enjoying watching him grovel

I’m appalled & hurt by this. I remain very upset. Whatever about the lack of solidarity with colleagues when negotiating his grubby little side deal when a chunk of them were being made redundant or denied basic terms, that story they concocted at the hearing about being unaware RTÉ had underwritten it & how he was awaiting to fulfil the Renault events as per the contract…it’s just extremely disrespectful to ME as a TV licence payer. I don’t think he’s genuine or trustworthy & I think taking that tactic absolutely stank. I think I’ll send a strongly worded letter to RTÉ.
