That is surely false accounting and a criminal matter.
Is it suggested that RTE income was not declared in its accounts.The audit has revealed a system that diverts income from sponsors directly into the pockets of presenters instead of going into RTE coffers and then being paid to Tubbs as salary. What’s really damning is that RTE guarantees these payments in the event of a sponsor pulling out.
Yep - that's my point - complete result for Dee - else she'd have to to explain herself whilst on holidays or worse cut her holiday short.Nobody gets suspended without pay until an investigation is carried out.

I will add in passing that it has been noted elsewhere that Tubridy wasn't just an 'employee' of this company vehicle he used to receive payments from RTE - he was the owner and a Director.Is it suggested that RTE income was not declared in its accounts.

This is where I saw it.Hi cremmegg,
Have you a link to this suggestion or can you elaborate please?

Explains why RTE didn't take up the opportunity to produce Fr Ted.RTE could have argued with a straight face that it was merely the conduit for the payment
I wonder what the nature of the 'personal appearances' was?It occurs that if Renault hadn’t pulled the plug, it might have been possible to explain away the arrangement - RTE could have argued with a straight face that it was merely the conduit for the payment and that the organisation wasn’t at any financial loss. It would still be a dubious practice but it wouldn’t be possible to point to any loss.
I think the real question is why Renault terminated the arrangement so early. €75000 a year for 10 personal appearances by one of the country’s best known presenters sounds like a good deal for a company of that scale.
Might it be that they didn’t like the whiff they were getting?
I don't see how he can be compelled to unless it was shown he did not fulfil his side of the contract.Will he have to pay back the money?
Ironic, given his job, but perhaps indicative of the real scandal of him getting paid so much in the first place.Tubridy apologises “unreservedly” for failing to ask questions
I think you’ve answered your own question.Anyone know why Dee F was suspended given she didn't know anything about any of this?
She’s the head honcho and all this went on during her watch. She oversees an organisation that allows this to happen. She gets paid at a level that requires her to be responsible for all that goes on.Salv - any chance of being less cryptic? Can you explain simply please?
