RTE’s David McCullagh has broken his silence over the reaction to his interview with Russian ambassador, Yury Filatov - saying he was just doing his job.
McCullagh earned global praise in March for his “outstanding” grilling of the ambassador, which saw him signing off their interview with: "Yury Filatov, Ambassador of Russia to Ireland, for the moment at least."
The Six One interview was picked up internationally, with US chat show host John Oliver referencing the interview on HBO's Last Week Tonight.
