'Fair City' photographer accuses Fine Gael senator of making 'ignorant comments'

Beta Bajgart has won the tender for the 'Fair City' photographer contract three times over the last 11 years.

The Fair City photographer has launched a blistering attack on the Fine Gael Senator who suggested that taking professional stills images was as easy as taking a photo with a smartphone.

Award-winning photographer and filmmaker, Beta Bajgart, accused Micheál Carrigy of making “highly insulting and derogatory” comments during last week’s Oireachtas media committee hearing on the ongoing RTÉ payments and funding crisis.
