No sight of an Irish journalist

German television station ARD screens Presse Club on Sunday mornings. The programme deals with national and international issues. The panel is made up of four journalists – every week different personnel.

Sunday’s programme dealt exclusively with the Irish problem.

Usually when an international issue is discussed a journalist from the relevant country is on the panel and naturally they speak German.

Sunday’s programme had no Irish journalist on the panel. Was that because they did not look for one or was it that there is no journalist from a national newspaper in Ireland who speaks German?
