RTE splurged nearly €2k for staff food and drinks on day Joe Duffy left Liveline
Cash-strapped RTÉ paid almost €2,000 of taxpayers' money for finger food and drinks for Joe Duffy's retirement celebrations. The veteran broadcaster retired in June after being with the national broadcaster for 37 years and at the helm of Liveline for 27 years. After his final show on June 27, RTÉ celebrated with catering from Bite Food Service- which also provides food for staff on-site. The party was held in-studio, with enough food and drinks for 80 people, RTÉ says. It cost the broadcaster €1,816, according to a Freedom of Information request. It's understood that alcoholic drinks were included as part of the catering. An invoice from Bite Services to RTÉ does not have an itemised breakdown for the cost of the catering services. It simply says "Joe Duffy retirement" with a NET cost of €1,600 with €216 of VAT. Later that evening Joe had a glamorous bash in The Duke on St Anne's Street. No expenses at this event were covered by RTÉ. Joe Duffy on the Late Late Show (Image: RTE) A source who was at the party said people were buying their own drinks at the bar. The bash included many of Joe's colleagues and former work pals at the national broadcaster. Former Late Late Show host Ryan Tubridy was in attendance with his new fiancée Clare Kambamettu. RTÉ presenters Miriam O'Callaghan and Brenda O'Donohue also dropped in to say farewell to the former Liveline host. There was also entertainment on the night, including tricks from magician Conn McCormack. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

Dublin ladies lead pub sing-song after All-Ireland win
Members of the Dublin ladies football team celebrated their All-Ireland win by leading a raucous sing-song in a Dublin pub. The Girls in Blue regained their All-Ireland title last weekend in an awesome display as they hammered old rivals Meath and avenged the infamous shock defeat of 2021, a defeat which stopped Dublin's 'drive for five.' There was to be no denying the Dubs this time around, as an Orlagh Nolan inspired performance saw them cruise past the Royals and lift the Brendan Martin Cup on the steps of the Hogan Stand in front of a crowd of more than 48,000 fans, with a huge tv audience watching on at home. In the days since the game, the Dubs have been enjoying their celebrations ever since the win and on Tuesday evening, they popped into the Merry ploughboy pub on Edmonstown Road to continue the party. And the team were well and truly the life and soul of the party, with one video clip shared by the pub showing Dubs star Hannah McGinnis playing the guitar and performing a rendition of the Vance Joy hit 'riptide' as fellow players as well as friends, family and backroom team members joined in the sing-song. McGinnis is the second Irish sports star in recent times to lead a session in a pub, with Leinster and Ireland rugby star spotted playing an accordion in a Mayo pub while on a stag do.
