Public Being Kept in the Dark

#BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and other senior executives at the US investment firm have held 17 meetings with Paschal Donohoe, Simon Harris, and their Department of Finance officials over the last three years.

@PearseDoherty, Sinn Féin's finance spokesman, has claimed that ministers appear to have continually briefed BlackRock on the new investment fund, while the public is being left in the dark'

For most bosses, that's the conversation about 'Reputational Damage', and the last conversation for high profile positions.

For any British viewer, watching these Irish commentators explain why it is important for Ireland to boycott a football match against Israel is like being thrust into an alternate universe. One where morality – not money – guides the agenda.

A different world is possible.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
This is the number of patients waiting for beds in #UHL They are left on trolleys today.
No privacy.
No dignity.
No adequate treatment.
This is not healthcare.
This is not good enough.

@williamhboney1 And as long as the chancers are in power SFA will happen.

This will be of interest to you @williamhboney1

Nearly two years later, we find out that veteran RTE reporter and now Independent Ireland MEP Ciaran Mullooly was paid €180,000 by RTE as an exit payment in 2021, and it "wasn't squarely a redundancy". His role was filled 13 months later with Sinead Hussey. It was blatant chicanery, though you can't blame Ciaran, he just sat there and took the money offered.

[The Tec Dr @tecdr]

@williamhboney1 It’s sure taking its time.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

@tecdr The law always gets there in the end.

[The Tec Dr @tecdr]

@williamhboney1 The law has always been clear, sadly nobody wants to do the enforcing as it opens up a can of worms.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

@tecdr Law is clear, enforcement is the stumbling block

[The Tec Dr @tecdr]

@williamhboney1 It still will be as long RTE keep doing it.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

@tecdr Categorisation is at the root of all of RTÉ’s issues. Compare this to what happened to Ronan Collins. RTE is upstairs downstairs, it took Simon 6 years Harris to confirm what I said in 2020. I also said for 25 years the state itself was the biggest offender, amnesty proved it.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

‘Categorisation’ is the root of all the issues in @rte.

“Not quite A redundancy’ does not exist as a legal category in redundancy legislation.

Neither does legal employment excluded from pensions because Minister O’Donovan refuses to comply with the law.

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

There is no excuse, TDs are paid extremely well and a taxi is not a bank breaker for them.

[The Tec Dr @tecdr]

@williamhboney1 If journalists aren’t asking the right questions, why are they journalists? Isn’t their job to hold those in power to account and not give them a pass?

[martinmcmahon @williamhboney1]

RTÉ operated a systemic misclassification architecture for decades that Karshan exposed. Instead of proper individual assessments, they shifted to batch/role processing while trying to ring-fence pension liabilities. This is both unlawful and enormously expensive.

International experts today confirm Israel is assassinating medics in Lebanon.

Some ‘rules’ are more important than others don’t you think @MichealMartinTD?
