RTÉ rejects claims it excluded Sinn Féin from general election coverage

RTÉ has strongly rejected claims it excluded Sinn Féin and its president Gerry Adams from general election coverage this week.

The party expressed “extreme disappointment” at what it called RTÉ’s unbalanced and unfair coverage of the election in its main news bulletins on Monday and Tuesday.

Sinn Féin was yesterday accused of trying to bully RTÉ into giving it more favourable coverage.
