Wonderful broadcast of wedding, but a shame your Irish anchor had to infuse infantile sarcasm and cynicism throughout. So obsessed was he with his own character he failed to meet the mood of the occasion and was an embarassment to your channel and the country of which he doubtless claim allegiance. No doubt your policy is to balance news, and to this end you had a scattering of republican questions attempting to spoil the occasion with their democratically protected viewpoints, fine. However, this presenter’s humourless carping was a little like commentating on an FA football final and sprinkling it with insinuations that football is only to be played if one team can win. That is out of order. May he please be fired (without pay), or at least prevented from covering any future live events for which professional journalist skills are required.
