RTE’S gritty gangland drama Kin has been snubbed at this year’s RTS Ireland Television Awards.
The awards, which will be hosted by Bláthnaid Treacy and Nuala Carey, recognise the best in Irish TV productions and international co-productions.
The feud crime drama, starring Clare Dunne and Aiden Gillen, failed to receive any nominations at this year’s awards.
It comes just weeks after Kin was named Best Drama and had a clean-sweep in the television acting categories at the IFTAS, with wins for stars Sam Keeley (Lead Actor), Clare Dunne (Lead Actress), Ciarán Hinds (Supporting Actor) and Maria Doyle Kennedy (Supporting Actress). Its writer-creator, Peter McKenna, was also honoured for his script.
