1. Dig, dig, dig. . . As someone said.

   People reporting on this platform they know for sure GAA players and officials getting free cars.

   This scandal has the broadest reach across the ‘official Ireland’ lot, as one reporter used to refer to them as.

2. In other words, no she didn’t

3. ” Kathryn Thomas indicated that her Land Rover was part of her sustainability journey.” 🤦

4. So we will go with a no then Ted.

5. I’m confused as to the problem here. Article is paywalled so correct me if im missing something

   Afaik Kathryn Thomas isn’t a full time employee? RTE hire her to present shows on their channel.

   Should they have full control over what she chooses to do for work elsewhere?

6. Must be a ecumenical matter

7. She’s very sustainable. Driving a brand new land rover last year, and this year she’s got a brand new Peugeot SUV.

   Sustainably getting a new SUV every year.

8. The contract clause says “no, no”. But her eyes say “yes, yes”…

9. Can someone explain to me what the supposed scandle is here?
