Ireland's Fittest Family coach Davy Fitzgerald has warned that “it isn’t a game” to not support public service broadcasting – as he begged politicians to give RTE the money “that they deserve”.
“It is something RTE can be very proud of. All I can say to you is I know the effort that goes in from them and the production companies, it’s massive. "I definitely think the likes of the entertainment shows that are there creating that atmosphere on a Sunday night, we need to take care of them.“I think the ordinary people would see that and understand that. This isn’t a game, and it is very important that we do support them and the likes of these shows.
“It’s a platform for getting issues out there. Every family in Ireland will go through stuff, no matter what background you come from. “She can switch that gear. She takes everything in and says very little around the other coaches, but I know she is as competitive as anything. She is a class lady. I really enjoyed having her around.
