Appalling behaviour of RTÉ and those associated with skit

There has been a storm of complains about RTÉ's New Year's Eve Countdown Show, which accused God of rape.

How could anyone ever attempt to make a joke on this subject, the idea of God raping, or indeed, anything to do with rape.

The programme was hosted by Kathryn Thomas and Deirdre O'Kane and the sketch was read by former RTE newsreader Aengus Mac Grianna.

We often shake our heads and wonder how people in the past behaved as they did.

It's ever so easy to live in the coattails of what's fashionable.

How can anyone associated with that so-called skit not be ashamed of themselves.

Denigrating God and joking about rape. It really is appalling.

RTÉ has made an apology but have said the piece will remain on the RTÉ Player but will come with a warning.

It should be removed immediately.
