Costello blasts RTÉ over Moran treatment

DUBLIN Secretary John Costello has launched an astonishing attack on RTÉ’s Sunday Game, questioning the impartiality of some analysts in games in which their ‘native counties’ were involved.

He specifically condemned the treatment of Colin Moran, who received a four-week suspension following an incident in the Dublin/Westmeath SFC game which was highlighted on that evening’s programme — and which was subsequently lifted after a case was taken to the DRA.

In his annual report, Costello says that the player was subjected to a level of analysis which ‘‘raised serious questions over the editorial decisions and, perhaps bias’’.
