Graham Linehan on the opposition to his appearance on RTE

Niall Boylan spoke to Graham Linehan.

Rte was forced to defend its plans to feature Father Ted co-writer Graham Linehan on Prime Time tonight, as part of a report on transgender issues in Ireland.

The decision to feature Linehan on the show led to the creation of a petition calling for the comedy writer to be removed from the debate.

Graham and Louise Hannon discussed the opposition to his views being aired.
