Keith Wynne from Tallaght has a problem with RTÉ's Celebrity Bainisteoir.
"I have a problem with RTE’s Celebrity Bainisteoir" says Keith. "I don’t know what the word ‘Bainisteoir’ means. It’s bad enough that the celebrities are RTE re-heats of old, or the odd Bebo girl, but to add insult to injury, Irish is now being forced upon the taxpaying viewer for no good reason. I have nothing against Irish, except for the fact that it is a redundant language (fact) akin to fine pottery or expensive jewellery in its decorative functionality. In effect it is the Rosanna Davison of languages — beautiful but useless regardless of her pedigree or history. Suffice to say, if RTE chooses to unleash Irish upon the unsuspecting English-speaking mainstream (however sniper-like the approach), they should either sell the programme to TG4 or subtitle the respective word."
