“RTÉ cuts one of the few pieces of public service broadcasting it actually does which is the whole reason we justify giving it any money in the first place”
If they don’t replace Katie on the show it’s a bit of a disgrace. Upfront serves a far greater public service than live line of all things.

Shame, I liked it. The Monday evening slot for current affairs is good.

Probably be replaced by another show about buyin/selling or renovating houses

There was a clip from this show of a Dublin woman named Chloe, who has been screwed around by the social housing system for years, who is struggling massively, sitting beside another woman who has been in the country 18 months and got a house in a nice part of Wicklow, who was pure delighted.
I went searching for the video to reply to a different thread a few weeks ago, and the clip has been SCRUBBED from the internet. RTE player doesn’t have the episode available, all of their socials just have the 3 minute clip talking to Chloe, and the 7 minute video with the 2 back to back interviews, showing a disgraceful disproportion of treatment, is gone.
I have a post grad in CS, have been working in the field for a decade now, and it is immediately clear to me RTE went out of their way to do data removal requests all over to get the video taken down (which is a perfectly legal and valid thing for any person or company to do, it is a great service we are provided by the EU).
But I would be remise to say it’s that kind of content that likely got the show cancelled. It made the government and the current climate around immigration look exactly how it is, unfair, and presenting the truth is seen as a negative, because it upsets the wrong people – well it upsets the right people to, and a society shouldn’t be shackled by the hate of a few hundred gobshites.

While it’s welcome in respect of format and the opportunity for public opinion to be expressed, I personally found something off with it, in the sense of it being a OR op for government.
Two Norries dude Leonard was platformed alongside ASGI Antonette Cunningham with both accommodating each other’s opinions and a strange reference to “my colleagues in Waterford policing” tackling media..to which they both looked as if they’d said too much,..McEntee was asked all the soft questions at a time when public order was at its lowest and we had riots only weeks later to not have figures associated with deportations and even a couple of weeks ago on an episode regarding safe injection clinics, some cringe worthy old skool attitudes were expressed.
Hopefully, some a bit more tenacious and transparent will replace it but there’s a general vibe that a lot of these RTE shows are government OR and collateral damage mechanisms.
In my opinion anyway.

As it because they were critical of politicians and holding them to account?
