There was one complaint about Always menstrual products, which was deemed invalid by the broadcasting authority. Another person objected to the Don’t Be Afraid campaign by Women’s Aid; and it, too, was ruled invalid.
Morning Ireland, Prime Time and Newstalk’s the Hard Shoulder were all joint second with five complaints each, according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Acts.
With RTÉ accounting for most of the complaints, the only other broadcaster with a relatively high number was Newstalk with nine. There were also six complaints about Virgin Media One or Three and two lodged against Today FM. The number of complaints made was markedly down last year, more than halving from the 2021 figure of 206. Not all related to programmes with listeners and viewers also taking issue with some advertisements.
