Moyross residents complain over show

Limerick residents are to lodge a complaint with the broadcasting watchdog over the way they feel RTÉ portrayed their community on a hard-hitting health show.

Locals in Moyross estate on Limerick’s northside are furious after Dr Eva Orsmond used the area in her show Ireland’s Health Divide, which focused on nutrition in poorer communities.

Many are to report RTÉ to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) and they are being supported by local Fianna Fáil TD Willie O’Dea, who said the national broadcaster “deserves a slap” for the “nonsense” in the show.
