New Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty has sidestepped questions on the RTE payments scandal – saying he’d need a few beers to discuss it.
The Northern Irishman takes over the Friday night chat show from September after Ryan Tubridy stepped down last month.
Tubridy has now found himself at the centre of the controversy, with Kielty making light of the scandal, with members of the media warned beforehand that he would not be taking questions on the scandal.
