Moya said at the committee she never knew about the barter account last week and found its existence “staggering”.
Weren’t they asked specifically if there were more barter account at the PAC and they said no?
The current CFO explicitly confirmed to the committee that there was only a single barter account.
Not only that, but he explicitly *corrected* the person questioning him who used the word “accounts”, saying (iirc) “There is only one barter account”.
He’s toast too.
I knew there was more accounts.
I bet there is loads more of these client entertaining jaunts!
How many concerts/matches/ foreign sports events and other piss ups did they go on?
That idiot CFO has to go, on 200k+ and doesnt even knew his own salary let alone the financial transactions of the org he is responsible for.
> There are indications that some of these latest revelations are linked to Toy Show the Musical.
That whole thing was so cursed.
It was peak RTÉ hubris and it was a guilty pleasure to see it get ripped to shreds (although I did have to feel for the kids involved).
As a general aside, if there is any good to this whole omnishambles, maybe we’ll actually start sending decent Eurovision acts now.
I thought this would blow over originally after a week or so. This ain’t going away any time soon
It’s weird how quickly the term “barter account” has become normalized.
Surely they’re just slush funds.
The shite hasn’t even begun to hit the fan yet. Wait till we find out who was getting the kickbacks from the 35% fee on every transaction.
I’ve a few friends in forensic accounting. They tend to find EVERYTHING.
Is there more PAC this week? 🍿
Last week’s was genuinely better than anything RTE have produced since Love/Hate
Grab your flaming pitchforks boys! It’s time to burn down the old RTE factory, so this never happens again.
Is this the official latest thread on RTEgate? Cos I’m not contributing if it’s going to be closed by a mod.
