      Using “client confidentiality” as an excuse here is laughably weak. It’s a smokescreen for what looks like a straight-up conflict of interest cashing in on political work while posing as an impartial media voice. If Ivan Yates can’t see why that destroys public trust, then maybe professionalism really does come second to profit in Irish media. You can’t hide behind confidentiality when the issue is credibility.

      Then you don’t go on the show.

      My world requires countless non-disclosures and you simply don’t things that require you to breach it if they are that important.

      He should be blacklisted by every media outlet over this.

      He’s not a lawyer, doctor or priest. He’s just the type of chancer that gets away with things.

      According to the Irish Medical Council’s Guide to Professional Conduct and Ethics for Medical
      Practitioners even doctors are required to disclose a client’s confidential information when it is in the public interest.

      “Doctors have a professional and ethical duty to maintain patient confidentiality. However, this duty of confidentiality is not absolute. There are situations where the disclosure of relevant information is appropriate in the interest of patient care and there are also situations where disclosure of information is required by law or in the public interest.”

      Hilarious explanation from someone who criticised Catherine Connolly’s response around the CAB rule for barristers.

      I’m I the only one that doesn’t really see a problem. He has used his expertise to become a media trainer. Lots of professionals do it.

      Seems like the obvious thing to do was just
      not appear on political talk shows during a election while also moonlighting as a political adviser to a candidate of said election.

      Protects the clients privacy. Protects your reputation and that of the broadcaster. Avoids a basic conflict of interest.

      But what the fuck do I know.

      He obviously has no respect for the general public. He thinks they are too stupid to know the difference between client confidentiality and a conflict of interest. He even compares himself to a physio for some reason just to try confuse the public. Almost like jangling keys infront of a baby. Such disrespect.

    10. “I ask myself the simple question – is this legal in everything I do. And in the case of the podcast, I asked myself that question – and do you know what the answer is? The 2009 Broadcasting acts do not cover podcasts.”

      If you have to ask yourself if everything you do is legal, and you get around it by a technicality, that’s some pretty shitty ethics Ivan.

      Ivan Yates is a corrupt crony and no defense should be made on his behalf.
