Many viewers of Prime Time on Tuesday night all shared the same opinion about an interview with Tanaiste Leo Varadkar.
The Fine Gael leader was interviewed by Miriam O'Callaghan on the RTE programme after further Covid announcements were revealed.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin said on Tuesday that the easing of certain restrictions on gatherings and the hospitality sector would go ahead on October 22.
However, these will be subject to several caveats and rules given the high incidence of coronavirus cases across the country.
He announced that nightclubs can reopen from Friday but said officials will work with the industry in the coming days regarding capacity, vaccine passes and other rules.
But there has been widespread confusion over the exact rules for pubs and nightclubs after the Taoiseach confirmed there will be “anomalies” and different measures in place depending on the setting.
Following an appearance by the Taoiseach on RTE's Six One news, the Tanaiste was then questioned about the announcements on Prime Time.
Some viewers took to social media following the ten-minute interview to share their disappointment about the segment.
Many would have preferred to have seen Sarah McInerney conduct the interview as she is known for her no-nonsense approach to holding those in power to account.
Instead, RTE fans were disappointed that co-presenter Miriam O'Callaghan had been tasked with leading the discussion.
One person said: "Might as well brought in his pillow how come @SarahAMcInerney isn't let at him."
A second stated: "Soft touch for Leo again chatting to Miriam...RTE doing what they're told. Sarah would destroy him but that's obviously not allowed."
A third opined: "Must have refused to be interviewed by Sarah..."
While a fourth added: "Easy interviewer for him."
Someone else said: "Who reckons Leo Varadkar asks to be interviewed by Miriam O'Callaghan rather than Sarah McInerney."
"Twin peaked , Sarah isolated, Miriam asking questions like herself and Leo are at a nite club," another person said.
A disappointed viewer wrote: "Damn Sarah isn't interviewing LV on #rtept!"
While another chimed in: "#rtept why didn’t @SarahAMcInerney do this she will let him waffle waffle waffle."
