RTÉ’s coverage of yesterday’s dramatic Ulster SFC final was disrupted by thunder and lightning in Clones.
Host Joanne Cantwell apologised to viewers after the loss of signal during the first half of the Anglo-Celt Cup decider which Donegal won following a penalty shootout. In spite of this, many fans took to social media to complain about the loss of picture and to also recommend BBC NI’s live coverage of the game as an alternative.
