PICS: There has been a massive reaction to RTÉ’s Michaella McCollum interview

It has the nation talking.

RTÉ interviewed Michaella McCollum regarding her release from prison in Peru, having spent two-and-a-half years behind bars when convicted of smuggling nearly €2 million worth of cocaine through Lima airport. The 23-year-old Tyrone woman has been released less than halfway into her six years and eight months sentence and, although she must remain in Peru for the time being, RTÉ paid her a visit to discuss the last couple of years. It made for intriguing viewing and Twitter was alive with response.
