Browne ‘surprised’ by sexism and bullying claims

TV3 PRESENTER Vincent Browne has said he is “surprised” at comments attributed to Labour’s Joan Burton labelling him a sexist bully.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner yesterday, Mr Browne said he was simply “surprised” both at the Labour finance spokesperson’s remarks, and at the level of coverage her appearance on his show Tonight with Vincent Browne had received.

For her part, Ms Burton said she respected Mr Browne as a journalist but criticised his interview style when she appeared on the show.
