. Following the show's cancellation, Greene claimed he was punished as a whistleblower and later fired by RTÉ after raising charges of sexual harassment in the workplace. Greene then protested to the authorities about his employment situation. Speaking at the WRC, his attorney stated that Greene had expressed concerns to 2FM chief Dan Healy about "alleged sexual harassment and impropriety in the workplace". However, it was argued that Greene had been penalized by being marginalised at work previous to his departure. However, when the case came before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) on February 20, 2024, it was delayed for about two and a half hours as the parties and their lawyers talked. As a result, Greene settled and agreed to remove his whistleblower penalisation and unjust dismissal allegations against RTÉ.
