Not a cent of taxpayer’s money should be given to RTE until a through revenue audit is done on the this organisation and tax paid on freebies which are ‘ benefits in kind ‘. Anybody in private organisations who get get benefit in kind pay TAX to the revenue . That’s the way the world works for ordinary citizens.
I expect Ryan Turbridy to give them a million Euros. And all the other millionaires there will chip in. They keep telling us that RTE are extremely important. Therefore they will put their hands in their own pockets.....
Chances of HMG putting Paddy in charge of the BBC is zero yet we have this non national as our mouthpiece for our government. Once again no irish need apply. One would love to know more about relationship D4orbes and others have with this individual. Meanwhile Spin Feign is happy with this appointment just like they are with the AnGS chief.
I remember the time when Rte only had to write 50 million on one A4 paper and think they were worth every penny of. 😉🤣🤣 If Rte done their job and stood independently People would have more respect. You reap what you sow. .Fair play to. Verona Murphey. 👍
Here’s an idea, why not tap into the millions of Irish overseas. Adjust your RTE player app so people overseas can pay a small fee to watch content from overseas. There some additional income. No it’s just easier to put you hands out to the government like a small child to it parents.
In some European countries TV funds are collected by a small €2/€3 per electricity bill as a national broadcasting charge. It’s fair because every building pays it. It’s €30 a year and equally distributed. They can also advertise. But that’s it. Not a penny more tax payer money and none of their broadcasters are paid more than €100k. RTÉ and the way it’s run is a disgusting state propaganda and cash cow for a small group of people.
A very bad day at the office for Mr Bakhurst. A moral obligation to protect the integrity of RTE? RTE'S Integrity is in tatters already. He refers to the independence of RTE, well could I remind him that RTE is NOT independent. RTE is beholden to the tax payers of this country who have been bankrolling this circus of an organisation for far too long despite getting very poor value in return, and the licence fee payers who must now be wondering why they should any longer pay for the waste and lavish spending and exorbitant salaries of those who work at the Montrose country club. They got away with it for long enough, but it's over now.
Who actually watches RTE? The late late hasn’t been good since Gay Byrne handed the reigns over to that plank pat kenny and to Rudy was a worse choice for the role. The only decent programme they had was Love/Hate
Easy answer SUSPEND funding to RTE, IF THEY DONT PROVIDE DETAILS. COMPEL ALL WITNESSES TO APPEAR. if the public don't pay the TV License RTE AND THE GOVT ARE QUICK TO SPOUT "ITS THE LAW"
The will never let it sink.... Too important to push the government spin for the older generation.. They would never have got the numbers for the jab otherwise
Insolvent.....so be it. Will peoples lives change? Of course not....Now it is early spring next year and this charade is going on. Backhurst covering up big time.....
Excellent news - the sooner that RTÉ goes off the air permanently the better
If RTE had more balanced broadcasting, instead of being a puppet for government they might be in better circumstances.
A public company that refuses to disclose it's "exit packages" and bonus payments to it's employees is beyond a joke.
I can’t wait to see them going under. Been pilfering for far too long. Overflated wages and perks to basically useless people.
give them nothing...spend it on housing.
Good we dont need corrupt RTE
Get rid of the TV license.
Leave RTE be dissolved . If a private firm makes a loss they have to close their doors.
Will I get my tv licence money back?
The country needs a national station but it needs to be run properly and unbiased viewing without the propaganda. Then people might watch it.
A dilution at least of the agenda would help ...it is almost like the Irish Times!
What are they doing with it, giving themselves bonuses.
The elephant in the room is the absence of the former DG Dee Forbes
Indeed , that is the case...but it will not solve the financial problems.
@@tomgreene1843 Lets be honest RTE is a mere side show in whats being consumed in Ireland at the present moment
Indeed it is ...but tell that to arte!@@doniehurley7634
Turbidy should give that 150,000 back. The work wasn't done so he didn't earn it

Bring back Bosco and wonderly wagon!
Personally I believe that if the Irish people woke up there would not be a stone left standing in Montrose
Leinster house first
Maybe woke down!

Oh, I'm convinced you're right 😂.
They all have plenty of more money now that that ship with Ukrainians on it was caught with a few tonnes of coke.
Let it fold
excellent
Won’t miss RTE when it’s gone

It’s the game they play 😉👍
All paid up members of Lucifer's club, they can only go in the wrong direction.
Would it be the end of the world if RTE was taken off the airwaves ( I don’t think so )

Wrong man for the job he wants all of montrose sold
Selling Montrose and building affordable housing in South Dublin ...Tut Tut!....ok if it was Athlone.
Good
Bakhurst out!

I’m voting for insolvency 👏👏👏👏

Let them crash and burn, they’ve wasted our money for years. Surely you have to ask why they pay themselves so much
Not a cent. To pay the likes of Darcy Duffy etc. Not a cent.
Not a Cent .
Who appointed this tyrant
Verona Murphy comes across like a total wagon
Insolvent.....so be it. Will peoples lives change? Of course not....Now it is early spring next year and this charade is going on. Backhurst covering up big time.....
so Tubridy took the 150 million and won't give it back and the Irish still love him. What a bunch of idiots,
