Politicians attack ‘insulting’ decision to ban Veritas ad

THE decision by the Broadcasting Commission to ban an advert for Veritas has been roundly condemned by politicians.

Fine Gael MEP for Dublin Gay Mitchell described it as a “churlish decision to ban an innocuous advertisement” while independent Senator Ronan Mullins said it was “deeply insulting” to religious people in Ireland.

“This is really rubbing the noses of Christian organisations” said Mr Mitchell.
