Joe Brolly was taken off air from the Claire Byrne Live show tonight after he made allegations against the DUP. Byrne asked Brolly to refrain from making accusations against the DUP and its representative Gregory Campbell who had earlier been on the show as neither he nor the party could counter the claims themselves. When Brolly asked, “which ones would he deny?” Byrne asked for Brolly’s video link to be removed from the screen. Brolly then took to Twitter saying: “I was taken off air and told it was because RTÉ could not risk me saying the DUP were homophobic, racist or sectarian. “We are British, there is nothing you can say or nothing you can do that will change that,” Mr Campbell said on the possibility of getting Unionists onside in the discussion on a United Ireland.
