A star-studded red carpet event this week saw Joe Duffy cross paths with Kin star Aidan Gillen - after he launched a scathing attack on the RTE show when it hit screens last year.
The RTE Liveline presenter openly slated the crime series, which stars Gillen as the leading gangster, saying he takes great offence to crime dramas like Kin, and Love/Hate, which the actor also starred in.
He went on to claim that the shows ‘exploit’ real people’s lives - like his own growing up in Ballyfermot.
