  3. “There’s one for everyone in the audience” – takes on a whole new meaning.

    So can anyone explain how Tubsidy was getting cash funneled through these barter agencies?

  9. Who is appearing at the committee today? I’m losing track and the Oireachtas website just says “representatives from RTE”, will Richard Collins be there again does anyone know?
