RTE pays out large salaries for poor English

Congrats to the new Rose of Tralee, Jennifer Byrne, the Offaly Rose.

Interviewing Ms Byrne, at one stage RTE's Dáithí Ó Sé was joking about her father travelling to Trinidad to watch her compete in a sporting competition and said: ".... he wouldn't have went there.........."

Is it that the past participle is simply changing or is it that grammar at RTE leaves much to be desired.

At least it's annoying to hear.

Yesterday Ryan Tubridy referred to something as being 'sh..e'.

And then the salaries.
