BAI upholds Ray D’Arcy show complaint regarding interview on abortion laws

Ray D’Arcy had a complaint against him upheld for acting in a partisan manner when conducting a radio interview on abortion laws.

The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) found that listeners “would have reasonably concluded that the presenter endorsed the views of his interviewee and was articulating a partisan position”.

The interview with Colm O’Gorman, director of Amnesty Ireland, took place last June. It followed the publication of Amnesty International’s report, She is not a criminal: The impact of lreland’s abortion law.
