RTÉ apologise to Barry McGuigan over comments by Joe Brolly and Eamon Dunphy

“It wasn't in the spirit of what the programme was designed to do.”

RTÉ have apologised to Barry McGuigan for their discussion on his 1985 world title victory as part of their series ‘Ireland’s Greatest Sporting Moment’, writes Stephen Barry.

Panellists Joe Brolly and Eamon Dunphy has strongly argued that McGuigan’s win over Eusebio Pedroza shouldn’t be in contention to be the greatest moment of the 1980s.
