Marty Morrissey’s Renault

Readers’ thoughts on Marty’s ‘loan’ of a car

Sat Jul 08 2023 - 01:15

Sir, – What exactly is Marty Morrissey apologising for? He got a loan of a car from a private company in exchange for turning up at some of their events, thereby not needing to claim a car or travel allowance from RTÉ. Surely this was saving the organisation money in the long run. – Yours, etc,

ROBERT CHESTER,

Dublin.

Sir, – My understanding of an ad hoc arrangement is that it is temporary, impromptu and for a particular purpose. A good example would be Marty Morrissey driving a Renault car to MC one, or even 12, of their functions. Having an arrangement that continues on a full-time basis and lasts five years stretches the concept of adhocism a little bit. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Considering the current RTÉ controversy I wish to apologise and make a full and honest disclosure to the nation.

As a sales rep with Erin Foods, I had a similar experience to Marty Morrissey, I had the use of a Renault car for years. – Yours, etc,

Made sure that my mileage was hearty,

I was like Jay Leno,

In my fancy Renault,

But now, Holy Moses,

it’s no Marty Party!
