Why are we assuming she walked away from RTE?? Maybe she got too big for her boots and her contract end came at the perfect time for Bankhurst!
We are not assuming that
at all. Certainly not on this thread, from what I have read, and indeed contributed.
The complete opposite in fact.
I'd say Bakhurst had her card marked for a number of reasons, and I imagine in particular the fact that she saw nothing wrong with doing a podcast with Tubridy after all the shenanigans at RTE had come to light. Sheer hubris on both of their parts.
Nobody would walk away from a handy number like that. Especially with a mortgage to pay, and a Fr Damo to keep.
I remember working with someone who was getting the boot when their contract was over. For...reasons. The email said that they 'were leaving to pursue other interests'.
Of course they were... just like Doireann
