'Hurt and angry' RTE Liveline caller has complaint against Joe Duffy rejected by BAI

A Liveline caller who accused RTE host Joe Duffy of "repeatedly interrupting him" has had his complaint rejected by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI).

The caller said he was left "hurt, angry and disappointed" after he accused Duffy of "repeatedly interrupting him" and using his full name during a debate about the Irish language.

The man rang the RTE Radio 1 show on February 17 to discuss the amendment to the Official Languages Act, which would require 20% of all new recruits to the public service to be reserved for people competent in the Irish language. However in a complaint to the BAI, the man said he was not treated fairly when speaking to Joe Duffy on-air.
