Pat Shortt did a good job also. The characters in "Killinaskully" remind me of certain people. It was quite good last weekend. It is important we are committed to the issue of public service broadcasting in terms of news and current affairs. I am concerned at the lack of coverage of regional issues.

The national broadcaster sent an enormous amount of reporters to Washington for Super Tuesday, which in my opinion was crazy, yet, it is hard to get coverage of events in Cork, Wexford or Kildare.
