So, having seen Beauty and the Beast (Miriam O'Callaghan and Eamonn Dunphy) offer to take pay cuts, what's the deal with Gee Ryan and (U)Ryan Tubridy ?
Gerry (The Ego) Ryan is probably paying a truckload of alimony to his soon-to-be-ex-missus, but Tubridy won't take a pay cut "for legal reasons" ? What the hell does that mean ?
In fairness, he's lucky to have a job in RTÉ, let alone one with a prime time Sat night show AND a radio show....the talentless, copycat fawning git...
OK, rant over...
Pat Kenny should be forced to have his pay cut by about 80% (unless they just get rid of him). Think about it, what are RTE worried about - are they afraid he will jump ship? If so good riddance. I doubt there will be to many other stations chasing after him & if they do then they wouldn't be foolish enough to pay him ghastly sums of money. Same goes got Gerry Ryan.
Matter of fact I think John Creedon could step into the Late Late show spot right now & do a brilliant job.
They spend the summer [broken link removed].What bugs me about these guys is what do in the summer.
This story puts me in the curious position with being in agreement with something Liam Fay (Sunday Times) wrote.
If Gerry Ryan thinks he is worth that level of remuneration, then RTE should call his bluff and not renew his contract. I can't see a queue forming of alternative offers at that level of pay and working hours.
...Gerry Ryans arguement has always been that since he earns a small fortune for RTE via the advertising revenue his programmes generate then he should get a larger salary, again, an arguement I have no issue with. However, given that advertising revenues are now falling, he should do the decent thing and cut his salary by the same %...
Most of our presenters are 40+ or +++ . We need more young presenters .Actually some of our actors/actresses would do a very good job ,but I suppose money would be an issue for them.
RTE looks like a very cosy club,well paid and very desirable jobs...no wonder the relatives of former employees want to work there.
The licence fee should be halved , as most other public bodies have to get by on less, and there should be big cuts in pay.
I am not an RTE basher as they do provide a very good service.
Anyway, 40 isn't old!!!!!!!
