DJ criticised for Jesus remark

REFERRING to Jesus as a “Palestinian terrorist” on live radio earned RTÉ presenter Gerry Ryan the wrath of the Broadcasting Complaints Commission.

A complaint made by a member of the public against the Gerry Ryan Show was one of five upheld by the commission. The others included complaints against the promotion of adult drama during children’s programming on RTÉ TV, a 15-rated film shown in the afternoon on Channel 6, and a discussion on immigration on Radio Kerry.

As a Catholic, complainant Mr Kevin Conroy said he found the use of the term “deeply insulting” to his religious beliefs.
