Noel Edmonds has said that it’s quite right for Irish people to be up in arms following the removal of parts of his RTE interview.
In a one minute Facebook video, the broadcaster said that:
“There’s another Lloyds storm brewing and this is all about my appearance on RTÉ on the ‘Ray D’Arcy Show’,” he said. “We talked about a lot of things, I had a very warm welcome. Then we got on the subject of bankers, Lloyds Bank in particular.
“But when the show appeared on the RTÉ Player, [this] whole section had been removed…
“Quite rightly, thousands of people in Ireland are up in arms.”
Here’s the footage they don’t want you to see..
Incredible.
I see @rte removed Noel Edmonds mentioning the Irish Banking Crisis on the ‘Ray Darcy Show’ from the @RTEplayer ? Completely edited this section out. https://t.co/v7mB6c7Kug#RTEbias pic.twitter.com/TTc2xSfozQ
