End of an era as Questions and Answers goes off air

IT’S the end of an era — Monday nights will never be the same again for the country’s news junkies and political anoraks.

After 21 years, Questions and Answers, the current affairs show that is synonymous with John Bowman, is drawing to a close.

RTÉ has strongly denied that its axing is a result of financial cutbacks at the national broadcaster, stating that the decision was made by RTÉ with Dr Bowman’s agreement.
