Clare Byrne’s radio show producer has apologised profusely to a member of the public who complained to RTE over veteran broadcaster Dave Fanning’s insulting comments about the late Christy Dignam.
The Irish Mirror has seen a copy of the letter from the producer in which he said: “The programme accepts his comments were in poor taste and we have therefore apologised.”
The controversy broke last month when the Irish Mirror revealed that there had been over 40 complaints over Mr Fanning’s comments when he was brought onto an RTE show to talk about the late, great lead singer of Dublin band Aslan.
