RTE careful to point out the impact to farmers in this report where environmental organisations welcome the EU commissions moves to protect Irish water quality.

No such balance last week when RTE reported on the impact to farmers.

RTE Lyric Fm in the background this morning. No annoying news to report!

#RteNews #MastoDaoine

I know I’m the problem but how come RTE news can annoy me so regularly and I’m not even actively listening to it.

Todays nugget of news regurgitated straight from Irish Water:
“during a hot spell water use can increase by up to 20 million litres per day in the greater Dublin region”

OK that’s a big number! What’s the information value in this big number?

I need context.

Is that a 10% increase or maybe 20%? How close does that take us to system capacity?

But wait, it gets worse:

RTÉ News had Conor Kane covering the Library staff/LGBTQI+ books solidarity march today 😩 and he platformed fascists in his news report on Ireland's prime time news bulletin 😩😩

What’s the fascination with this family RTE News? Three stories currently appearing in the headlines (two visible below). Isn’t it about time you just moved them to the Entertainment section? #RteNews

It makes no sense whatsoever to increase the cost of Antigen tests by applying VAT from Sunday. Is there any sensible left working in Government. Penny pinching and Euro foolish @FineGael@twitter.com @fiannafailparty@twitter.com @greenparty_ie@twitter.com #rtenews

Tirlán clarifies why the fada was left off Tir..says it was to simplify the name and "make it more relevant in a global context”. The other fada was included as "a distinct Irish reference" Company also looked at other brands with accents..like Nescafé #tirlán #rtenews #gaeilge
