I don't think we'll ever know the full cost of the hospital, I doubt we'll be told the truth. How long is it going on? Since 2016?
Chat show hosts everywhere seem to be paid all different amounts but it does seem the average is over 400k, I was surprised to read Pat Kenny earned just under 1 million , I guess these figures seem high to me who's poor and thinks over 30k a year is rich.
Thanks for that man's name, Joe O Malley, so he's a solicitor, he was just fantastic, it was clear he had read everything, knew every detail, was so prepared and just seemed so professional. The minute something was mentioned he had the paperwork to hand immediately or knew the page number and remembered exactly where to find it and what every page said, they're was no fumbling around with pages. He's someone I'd like to hire if I needed a solicitor.
With regards to getting paid in advance. I suppose with covid a lot of businesses 'owed' services, things like holidays were postponed, they were paid for but people had to go at a later date, parties, weddings, etc these would have been paid for but people couldn't have them, I think with Ryan, him saying he owed them road shows was because of covid that he couldn't do them at time but would at a later date. I don't know if getting paid in advance was a normal thing generally? Covid aside. If it was normal to get paid in advance before doing the work then I can see why he didn't return or refuse the money immediately, or question it. He had paperwork with Renault about the roadshows owed. As for returning the money if the roadshows don't happen, I though Ryan and Noel thought it was Renault that paid them and not RTE? It was a different name on the payment hence the whole questioning.
