WATCH: RTÉ correspondent demonstrates the perfect way deal with an annoying interruption

Carl Kinsella

Live news correspondents are pretty much at the mercy of the public for the few seconds that they’re on air…

It’s a lesson that RTÉ’s Religious and Social Affairs Correspondent Joe Little learned the hard way when he was speaking from Malahide on Saturday evening.

While speaking about the ongoing Citizen’s Assembly, which today heard discourse on the moral status of foetuses, Little was interrupted by an anti-choice demonstrator who held up a sign that read: “You Must Not Kill: abortion is murder.”

Little handles the interruption like a gentleman, giving a firm but fair “I beg your pardon” while shoving the protester off-camera. You love to see it.
