Morning Ireland bosses were left red faced after the breakfast radio show was forced to play music after an unexplained interruption.
The technical issue arose about 15 minutes into the broadcast and in the middle of an interview with Political reporter Micheál Lehane about the eviction ban.
As Mr Lehane reported on the options facing the Government, he was cut-off. There was dead air for over 20 seconds, before After the Fire by the Lost Brothers began playing.
