Viewers were 'disappointed' after an Ireland AM joke about nut allergies with Tommy Bowe, Muireann O'Connell and Alan Hughes
Ireland AM presenters have issued an apology to their “disappointed” viewers after an "irresponsible" segment.
Tommy said: "I would only get a Domino's just for the dip." Alan then asked him: "Can they not make them without the traces in it?", to which he laughed as he replied: "They probably will but it won't taste the same." One viewer penned: "I'm glad you found it funny because as a parent of a child with a peanut allergy who carries an EpiPen with him, it's far from a laughing matter."
While a third added: "The worry for allergy sufferers and their parents in the last couple of weeks is nothing to be laughed at. The misinformation is shocking". A fourth expressed that Tommy, Alan and Muireann were being "ignorant" and "insensitive" during the segment.
