Ardal O'Hanlon frequently amends scripts to remove 'Irishisms'

Actor Ardal O'Hanlon said he is very aware of how Irish people are represented on British TV and that he frequently amends his scripts to remove the "Irishisms".

The former Father Ted star, who is replacing Death In Paradise's Kris Marshall in BBC1 series, said that people in Ireland have been "outraged" by the way they are portrayed on-screen, using the 1997 Dublin-based episodes of EastEnders as an example.
