The Angelus, broadcast religiously on RTÉ One prior to the Six One news, is a staple of Irish television. Love it or hate it, it is there every evening.
Except for last night (Wednesday), when RTÉ took the decision not to broadcast the sound of the bell ringing for a minute, due to the arrival of US President Joe Biden.
In a statement sent to the Irish Mirror, an RTÉ spokesperson confirmed that the Angelus was not broadcast on Wednesday night due to Biden’s visit.
