674,000 tune in to Prime Time show on Nally

RTÉ’S Prime Time programme on the Padraig Nally case attracted almost record viewing figures on Tuesday night.

The widespread national interest in the case of the Mayo farmer, sentenced to six years for killing Traveller John ‘Frog’ Ward, prompted 674,000 people to tune in.

This represents just less than half of all those watching television at the time.
