Ní Bheoláin's job comments 'a joke'

"Your job's OK - this time" Sharon Ní Bheoláin was heard telling colleague Ray Kennedy.

RTÉ has said news anchor Sharon Ní Bheoláin was "just joking" in a comment to colleague Ray Kennedy that was broadcast to the nation.

The two news presenters were fronting last Friday night's Six One news bulletin when the tail-end of their pre-broadcast chat was unwittingly caught on camera.
