Their staff apologised live on air. I’m not sure what more they should have done to humiliate them aside from having them do it naked?
Rte are trying to shame people traveling through the airport on prime time.
If you can’t see value in the leader of your country having a bilateral meeting with the president of the United States, guaranteed, every year, then I’m afraid that’s your failing and there’s very little more I can do for you.
Keep your polack nose out of this.
This is bad but going into pubs trying to force young ones to give them a pint without buying food in the summer will never be beaten

And why can’t they do it on zoom?
Do you think Biden is going to tell Ireland to go fuck itself because they didn’t accept an invite in the middle of a pandemic? Yes or no.
Your neo-liberalism agenda is disgraceful here.
Sure mate.
Straight from the Daniel O’Connell play book. SHAME.
Its the same rte show that went around to pubs in Dublin demanding to be served pints without the magic €9 meal. To shame them on camera.

So, you’ve decided that valid (in your view) reasons are “unlikely” so it’s ok to go film people and shame them.
You see the judgement call that you’ve made there.
That’s a pretty poor approach to doing anything.
sure you’ve judged it yourself. You claim to know the motive for filming.
Do you think there were no holidaymakers on that plane, no?
You’ve also implied shame on those travelling, which is very telling. Why would they be ashamed?
Lads I’ve my holidays book and I’m going. If rte want to have cameras in Dublin Airport I’ll walk through arrivals bollocks naked signing come out you black and tans. No way ill be on primitive. Apologies in advance @Batigol

I didn’t say that. Stop twisting things.
I specifically mentioned initially people going on foreign holidays.
And yes, if someone is coming home from Lanzarote after ‘renting an apartment’ (whatever that means) then I have no problem with them whatsoever being shamed.
It’s tabloid journalism. You’d expect more from a State broadcaster. But these are the same people who sent a fat lad undercover to get sneaky pints without a substantial meal so no surprise really.

Would you not just tell them where you’re going? Anyone who felt shamed by RTÉ today should have simply stood and answered their question and stood over their decision.
After that, they could do what they wished, proud of their choice and without concern for what others thought.
Both by the same reporter too.

It would be interesting to see a cross section of who was calling for Phil Hogans scalp and who is criticizing RTE for “shaming” people.
Only a matter of time before RTE deploy the NOTW classic “fake Sheikh” to dupe unsuspecting Irish youngsters into attending a fake influencer party in Dubai.
