I lost my dad a long time ago but there is one line that I will never forget. When I would come home from school when I had been misbehaving with an excuse, for example, “Johnny next to me told me to do it”, his question always was “If Johnny told you to put your hand in the fire, would you put it in?” Mr. Kelly cannot suggest for a moment that a credible answer to that question is, "RTÉ told me to do it". It was a false invoice for services that were never provided to a company he supposedly had never heard of. Did he consider for a moment, in processing that invoice, the damage he was going to do to Mr. Tubridy if it was ever found out?
