Nope. As above. RTE own the corporation that runs TG4.

But last year as TG4 celebrated its tenth birthday, Dempsey finally announced that the time for apron strings cutting had arrived, with TG4 to be freed from its RTE shackles from April 1, 2007.

That's the question. RTE comission independent companies to make programmes. It has many different parts.  I don't have a clue about the asshole's radio show but it seems perverse to use a sweeping term RTE.  Noone can fault Mickey for not speaking to that particular asshole but why not speak to the Sunday Game unless he has a specific problem with them.  Obviously, he's quite entitled to do what he wants. Just curious.
