This is arising precisely because they are acting as if they are operating in the private sector!

Gavan Reilly: Peter Fitzpatrick says it appears RTE has a commercial director who doesn’t supervise commercial deals, and a head of finance who doesn’t know where the money is going. “What a mess,” he says - if the same prevailed in the private sector, they’d be “finito”.

Re @redlinesman I presume you know that I was the TD who led the opposition to the Hate Bill in the Dail and I was the one who called the vote on it and voted against?

Was Dee Forbes the only one who knew about these too? 🤔 https://n.respublicae.eu/MichealLehane/status/1676315749613223944

Meaning Renault shouldn't reveal that public money was being laundered through them to pay Tubridy in secret? https://n.respublicae.eu/ciananbrennan/status/1676339503441629185

Wait a minute, are you telling me that the guy who told us he didn't know his own salary might not have been accurate when he said there was only one barter account?

Re @donlav @roy_kinsella @RoseFle54723126 I have no problem with Ukrainians arming themselves either.
Interesting that you consider Palestinians fighting occupation terrorists, but see Ukrainians fighting occupation as a legitimate army.

Re @ConorGallaghe_r It impacts on militarisation because it's about joint procurement of ammunition and weapons through the EDA. It is also about promoting the European "defence" industry, ie giving more money to dealers in death.

Re @ConorGallaghe_r Ahhh we're saving money while promoting an increase in military spending, great news 😂
We should have nothing to do with the EDA which is about promoting the arms industry.

Re @ConorGallaghe_r Another option to this proposal is not to participate in EDA projects and buy what we need directly.

Re @ConorGallaghe_r You are. Which is why I'm not for big increases in military expenditure.
