In a 90's RTE clip Brenda Donohue was standing next to the back of a slurry spreader and suddenly got sprayed / destroyed with shit. She wasn't in on the 'prank' and laughed it off.
not RTE but a classic -
He did not sound like a DG any time I've heard him being interviewed.Do ye's think Bakhurst will last the week?
Cabinet ministers have backed their colleague Catherine Martin despite calls for her to step down, with the Labour Party describing her position as Media Minister as “untenable”.

This sentence says so much about the state of the Labour party right now.
If i'm reading it correctly
Catherine Martin has put a week into trying to get transparency around golden handshakes at an RTE that was documented publicly to be a financial mess.
Siún Ní Raghallaigh steps down because Martin said what happened on TV and rather than discuss it decided to leg it.
RTE general staff are actually raging about all this shit going on over their heads*
And labour party, supposedly supposed to stand up for workers and unions and all that craic is going for
So apparently according to Labour Catherine Martin is untenable because she exposed a golden handshake deal that used public money.
Labour should be giving her birthday bumps.
*this is indicated by just how much negative coverage RTE have given RTE in the past few weeks. They are not circling wagons.
Another view is that SNR held multi-day meetings with Martin. Then after the fact SNR realised she had given Martin bad info, and let her know.
Do ye's think Bakhurst will last the week?

Paywalled, but a comment by FOT there that when Ireland womens team were playing Italy, what RTE2 showed was a four year old episode of the Simpsons, and home and away. They had the match on rte news now, but bumped the first 15 minutes for a press conference.
