  1. It feels like this is covered every few weeks. I didn’t expect Tubs to get some major cut or be overtaken by anyone in the last year lol

  2. You wouldn’t get a 2 million euro mortgage for a house in Dublin for that.

    Feel sorry for him.

    In all seriousness, Daragh Maloney on 183K per year. Outrageous, painful to listen to and presents the odd Ireland and Champions League game? Once every blue moon.

  3. Darragh Moloney getting 200k to commentate on men chasing/kicking/hitting a ball is genuinely money for old rope.

  4. But we need to attach a golden handcuffs deal to ward off any interest from the UK! We’re the lucky ones here.

  5. The top of the Top 10 attract the most interest, but it’s the ones down the list and the people who are just off the list that interest me. Who are RTE competing with that they think these sort of salaries are required? How many other staff in RTE are on over 100k a year, and what is the justification for paying these sort of salaries?

  6. I despise being forced to pay for services I don’t use and it further wrecks my head that this talentless hack takes home this pay for less than mediocre copied content! Feck this and feck RTE!!

  7. Remember the outrage when Pat Kenny was the highest paid? It’s all repetitive nonsense. Doesn’t impact one single of one us.

  8. Rte should not be allowed to employ most of its presenters on a contractual basis. It’s nothing but a tax-dodging scheme.

    Contractor’s are used for irregular and/or short term employment. People who present shows at the same time slots for years should not qualify.

  9. Replace them all with new generation voices for one quarter of the fees. Savings and a fresh take on the world.

  10. Jesus that’s far too much. I was at the late late a few weeks ago and it’s amazing how good he is until the cameras turn on, his banter with the audience and band is brilliant, everyone laughing, then the minute the first guest comes out it becomes awkward as fuck. I think it’s because he doesn’t say hello to the guests, doesn’t have a bit of inane ‘how are you doing’ type shite that would be more normal. He fires straight in with something like “you’re here for a play, tell me about it” and all the craic is sucked out of the room. I honestly think if they did a thing like Alan Carr or Graham Norton where they give them a lil drink it would be 100 times better.
