The tripartite contract, which was provided last week on behalf of Ryan Tubridy, was signed on 21 April of this year. It is almost as though someone found out that the authors had discovered the unreported payments to Mr. Tubridy, and Mr. Tubridy and Ms Forbes were told and both decided to jump ship before the scandal became public.

When is a contract not a contract? This is the question I am being asked by the public. Two people seem to have jumped ship at the same time. Is that a coincidence as well? Everything seems to be a coincidence.
