"It just means I had an opportunity... to make money".
RTÉ's interview with Michaella McCollum - the Tyrone native who was jailed in Peru for smuggling drugs - is still
very raw for many people... but that didn't stop the talented team behind Republic of Telly having their say.
It appeared as though RTÉ were happy to have a bit of a dig at themselves, with the easy tone and avoidance of the more heavy-handed details in the original interview parodied throughout, while McCollum's let's say, positive outlook, on the whole affair is mocked as well.
Have a look at the short clip below, with the last 30 seconds especially clever.
