Batsh*t Crazy Green Party

RTE and the print media does not appeal to a younger more diverse demographic anyway and its glory days are way back in the rear view mirror anyway no matter who they hire.

GAAGO has even focked their previous older demographic for matches etc.

A completly focked and badly run RTE appointing someone from an underrepresented self-identifying minority into a role without considering whether they have all right skills for the role?

Judging on past results at RTE that has always been the case.

If they are sacked due to poor performance they can then claim discrimination?

Other candidates who may be better qualified and experienced are passed over as a result.

RTE's Diversity/Inclusivity strategy:

I think these kind of initiatives that prioritise hiring people on the basis of their sexuality are ropey at best.

What should that have to do with anything in regard to someone's suitability for a job?


Brave new world. ?

No mention of travellers in that list I see.

Isn't GAAGO a private company with someone formerly high up in RTE a beneficiary? Crazy that almost all of the important and much sought after Munster Hurling matches have been behind a paywall. Meanwhile we'll get to see crap relatively inconsequential games on terrestrial RTE - that's what the license fee is for apparently. ?

I'm sure a rehabillitated Kyle Hayes will tick a lot of boxes when he retires.

It really is a disgrace and both RTE and the GAA deserve a good kicking for it.

Just imagine if the IRFU or FAI tried this stunt?

National sport indeed

You say they can ask a question at an interview "but there is no obligation on a (prospective) employee to answer". I'm not sure that's correct tbh.

Who said anything about an interview, I certainly didn't nor did Padraig. Both of us said employee.

How exactly do you think RTE are going to be able to change their demographics unless they hire new people, which would (presumably) require interviews.

Or do you envisage their management not bothering to get in new people and just going around to current employees instead and assigning him/her/them labels as they go to random current employees in order to bring their gender balance to 50/50 etc? ????


Some people here have to be brought through things one little step at a time in order to try get them understand even straight forward concepts.

GAAGO is 50% owned by the GAA and 50% owned by RTE.

So if two equally capable people apply for a job at RTE and one of them is a homosexual, the straight person loses out, purely because of their sexual preference?
