Interviewing a vulnerable woman

Some days have passed since RTE's Prime Time screened a section of its programme on crime in rural Ireland.

Prime Time's Miriam O'Callaghan travelled to Donegall and interviewed an elderly lady in her home. Some days earlier the woman's home had been burgled.

It was poor television where an elderly, fragile woman, who was at her most vulnerable, was 'used', most likely for television ratings.

And so far not a word of criticism of the clip on the Prime Time programme.
