Earlier, RTÉ said it was “disappointed” with the decision by Dublin Pride to end its partnership with the national broadcaster over what the campaign group said were “harmful anti-trans discussions” on Joe Duffy’s Liveline. “RTÉ is disappointed with the decision to end a partnership we had developed together with a range of bodies over the last three years,” a spokesperson said.
