Sinn Féin has accused RTÉ of "electoral interference" following a controversial remark made by host Patrick Kielty on The Late Late Show last night.

During a sequence in the opening monologue, Mr Kielty joked, "the hunt is on for people to take part in the Irish version of the hit reality show, The Traitors."
