RTE journalist Philip Boucher-Hayes has been the subject of major backlash online after publishing a recent Tweet aimed at those enduring long waits at Dublin Airport.
In his short message published on Sunday morning, he told anyone who missed an international flight in recent days to ‘check your privilege’ rather than complain about hampered plans.
The well-known news reporter wrote: “Another way to think about delays at airports: We are in a climate emergency, since a vote of the Dail in 2019. If you’re on an international flight you are in the 4% of the global population that will ever do that in their entire lives. Check your privilege.”
