Dunphy to meet RTE over suspension

Eamon Dunphy is to meet RTE’s head of sport today to discuss his suspension from the station's World Cup coverage.

He had been out drinking the night before a television appearance and was unable to finish providing analysis during a live match programme.

Writing in today's Star newspaper, Dunphy said: "While I fully accept I was in the wrong, I am furious at the way RTE went public on my suspension."

He vowed never to cover a World Cup match for the station again.
