RTÉ awards no-show by fighting Irish explained
Boxer Katie Taylor and mixed martial artist Conor McGregor missed the event and their no-shows were explained yesterday.
On his RTÉ Radio show, Seán O’Rourke was discussing the awards with colleague Pauric Lodge and wondered as to the whereabouts of Taylor, who won a fifth consecutive world championship title last month. Lodge revealed there is a dispute between the boxer and the state broadcaster. “Katie has issues with RTÉ’s coverage of boxing,” he said.
