Tongue-tied RTÉ reporter gives viewers a giggle

Everyone’s been there.

That moment when what comes out of your mouth is not what you wanted to say at all.

RTÉ reporter Tony Connelly had such a moment on February 19 as he reported on the EU summit in Brussels.

Connelly spoke about how there "may be further i’s to cross and t’s to dot" instead of the usual phrase "i’s to dot and t’s to cross" and his tongue-tied blunder didn’t go unnoticed.

Several people tweeted following the news broadcast, sympathising with the case of word vomit and remarking that maybe Connelly had had quite a long day at the summit in Brussels.
