    Not as silly as the editor must feel who described Gerry Adams as the "Sinn Féin President". Did he not realise that Adams was expelled from Sinn Féin nearly 21 years ago?

    Oops...

    speaks volumes about the "quality" of TV3
    Enda Kenny on FF government: “We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fáil policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.”

    Caption Generation always goes wrong because they have to do them live.

    They don't put them on to the package because they need to archive the footage and don't want Captions on that footage.

    It happens everywhere. Not just at TV3.

    You mean the Sinn Fein who finished behind the stickies in West Belfast rather than the one with the five out of six seats.
