People who tuned into RTE Prime Time on Tuesday night were all left saying the same thing after host Sarah McInerney interview Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly.
The Government official was appearing after a controversial day which saw new advice issued for international travel as well as confirmation that a schoolchildren from third class upward would be wearing masks from Friday.
He hit back at Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary's comments during a spiky chat with Sarah, but viewers were impressed with how the presenter grilled Mr Donnelly.
Some were remembering what had happened back in April when the pair had crossed paths.
One person tweeted: "Sarah McInerney about to interview Stephen Donnelly on #rtept. This should be fun..."
A second added: "I hope Sarah McInerney savages Stephen Donnelly on #rtept Prime Time tonight. They scrapped contact tracing in schools, and now they’re trying to shift #COVID19 blame by making masks mandatory for kids. Shameless"
It did appear that Sarah was getting a bit sick of the Minister at times, something which viewers picked up on.
One tweet read: "Sarah's sighing now, she's definitely getting annoyed with the "Minister" here.
A second said: "You can literally feel Sarah McInerney channelling the nation’s anger & exasperation at Stephen Donnelly this evening #rtept Worst possible Minister for Health at the worst possible time."
Overall, it seemed people were left extremely underwhelmed by the Minister's appearance.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said Covid cases are “going through the roof” in young children and said the target is to get to the Christmas break.
It comes as the Department of Education will advise primary schools that pupils from third class and above should wear a face mask from Wednesday.
A Government statement has also confirmed that “the wearing of face masks will be recommended for children aged nine and over on public transport, retail and other indoor public settings as currently required for those aged 13 and over, with exemptions as appropriate.”
