#PrimeTime #irishukrainiansnotrussians Oh-so-subtle brainwashing or embarrassing technical failings? YOU decide! — Daniel Kiniry (@LordHenryTweets) March 4, 2014
Was that supposed to be subliminal messaging on #rtept ? I still feel more Russian than I do Ukrainian... #irishukrainiansnotrussians — Gerard Fogarty (@gerfogarty) March 4, 2014

RTE Managing Director Kevin Bakhurst quickly moved to address the situation but it didn’t save the national broadcaster’s blushes, with a host of memes and parodies quickly appearing online. However, our clear favourite is this brilliant techno remix. Eurovision, anyone?
Many apologies to those watching RTEOne and #rtept - the engineers were aware and trying to sort. Not acceptable fault. Infuriating.
