These journos are NOT happy with Irish politicians

Two journalists from America’s National Public Radio were left less than impressed after three government ministers cancelled three separate interviews.

Rich Preston, producer for NPR's International Bureau and International Correspondent Ari Shapiro took to Twitter to voice their frustration with how events unfolded today, with Rich posting that it was one of their worst experiences to date.

I've interviewed prime/first ministers, ministers, mayors & councilors from Europe to the US to Africa. Worst experiences to date: Ireland

They went on to explain that one Minister failed to inform them he wasn't going to turn up.

I can't stand incompetence. I've experienced that in abundance today. Ireland: your professional politicians ain't so professional

It's unknown at this time which Government Ministers were slated to be interviewed for NPR today but it seems that rearrangements may be made over the coming days.

@SimonCunnane @padraic83 I'll give the benefit of the doubt in hope that amends can be made in coming days.First impressions not good though
