Buckling under the weight of Ireland’s greatest noughties moments
In defence of RTÉ, shrinking the long list of Irish sporting achievement in the noughties to a select handful for tonight’s penultimate run of the TV series is a lose-lose act ever before one even contemplates said list. Narrowing it to five borders on self-flagellation.
Not helping in any way is the material necessity of extending the noughties from a decade to 12 years to incorporate Katie Taylor’s Olympic gold in London in the final discussion before an overall winner from the four studio debates is made on RTÉ in a week’s time.
