BAI finds against Ray D’Arcy again
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has upheld a complaint against the Ray D’Arcy Show’s treatment of the abortion issue for the second time in six months.
The BAI decision related to an interview that Mr D’Arcy conducted with Graham and Helen Linehan in October about their abortion experience and their support for the political campaign to remove the Eighth Amendment from the Constitution. The BAI stated that the interview was “set out so as to encourage support for the Amnesty International campaign” on making abortion more widely available.
