      Day 95 of the Tribunal, and more of the same stuff is happening… blah blab

      Look at broadsheet – there is detailed Tribunal reporting every day… which nobody reads (well nobody is commenting on) perhaps BS can tell us how many people are reading those pages.

          I read it. It’s beyond comment tbh.. doesn’t mean I don’t really appreciate the reporting..

        Feeling a bit cranky today Cian? You remind me of ME at certainly time of the month.

          Up on blocks? No football on the pitch. Riding the cotton bicycle.

          Surfing the crimson wave, hitting the menstrual jackpot, sniffing the scarlet bouquet.

          Any of them. All of them.

            Sniffing the scarlet bouquet is a new one to me. Quite frankly it’s disgusting, imagining you with a big period blob on yer nose.

    It’s RTE, its not a serious news outlet so don’t sweat it.

    As for the tribunal, their own Sgt Reynolds might be uncomfortable with his role in the demonisation of McCabe and all.

    DO NOT PAY YOUR TV LICENCE! EVER! If a certain number of people do this we can bring RTE down. It is not representative of this country in any shape or form.

    Fupp them and Duffy and Tubridy too.

      Much as I’d love to ‘take RTE down’ Ron, I don’t want to end up in court and fined. Good luck with the revolution though. I’ll tune in.

        How would you end up in court? TV licence guy comes to my house, asks if I have a TV licence, I say no, I don’t nor a TV, he says he will need to inspect the premises, I ask him under what jurisdiction, he mumbles something, I tell him to fupp off and come back with a warrant. Wait 12 months for different inspector, same argument.

        No court. In 17 years. And no, I NEVER watch RTE and barely switch on the battered old plasma either, TV is crap generally.

          almost 12,000 were subject to court proceedings in 2017 for not having one

          i don’t have a TV license on principle, but it’s a bit of a bother

          3. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            No, the ‘on principle’ bit. Is it coz you’re not here all the time?
            I always pay it. Not paying bills makes me itchy.

          4. Brother Barnabas

            I’ve paid it twice, but really, really resented it each time. it’s the most unfair charge there is.

          5. Andyourpointiswhatexactly?

            I don’t mind it. I’d pay it for Nationwide, Lyric and RTEJr radio alone.

        2. Spaghetti Hoop

          Because Ron, when you don’t pay the damned thing, you get a court summons. I have a TV and I use it for 2-3 hrs per day. I can’t understand why RTE gets my fee when I don’t even watch its channels – I only listen to RTE radio. So I pay it to avoid a court summons – not because I believe in the product.

  7. Jared Katooie

    Well let’s see how trivial it seems when someone nicks the doors off your castle.

    RTE obviously has no appetite for holding the powerful to account. Any investigations they carry out usually involve hidden cameras directed at minimum wage workers in creches and the like.

    However, I do think the libel laws are having a chilling effect. RTE has already had to pay a Super €150k because they misreported the details of a meeting with a whistleblower from more than a decade ago. So if they prefer to send their elite correspondents to the safety of Bloom, there’s a certain commercial logic to the decision.

    So INM hold garda files at their office including murder files. That was some bombshell by Gemma o Doherty.
