I am so ashamed to be Irish and, thus, associated with this anti-semitic behaviour.

I wouldn't go so far as calling for a resignation on the part of someone I think is a good DG but I do think an apology is due to the Irish Jewish community and Graham Linehan

For RTE to unilaterally decide to boycott the Eurovision simply because a democratic country has had to defend itself in the face of unimaginable violence and abuse is appalling. Is this what we pay our licence fee for?

What has this country become? A disgrace, shameful, people should have the choice and not be dictated

This action is so UN-Irish by your broadcasters
Have the antisemites taken away what has always been Irish love of Judaism and the State of Israel who once had a proud Irishman as her President

Kevin Bakhurst should resign immediately — or be removed. People in positions of authority who promote antisemitic or antizionist bigotry, distortion, and historical ignorance have no business shaping public discourse. Time to start dismantling hateful ignorance — one loud fool at a time.
