English grammar a la RTE

RTE's Katie Hannon, reviewing yesterday on RTE Radio 1's Drivetime the year of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said,  "..... he had not rang."

She was talking about Leo's gaffe when he was talking with President Trump about his golf course in Ireland and plannig permission.

RTE should give a course to its employees on the use of the past participle.

It's interesting how middle class Ireland will sneer at 'I done' but they seemingly have no issues with misusing the participle with other verbs.
