Joe Brolly has been ordered by RTE not to make any more comments of the type he tweeted last night. His tweet that Sky Sports' GAA team, unveiled on Monday, equated to TV3's broadcast team '+ a Baywatch Babe' was regarded by many as a sexist slight against Sky Sports' anchor Rachel Wyse. He apologised to Wyse earlier today.
Statement from RTE: The views expressed by Joe Brolly are not those of RTÉ and he has been asked to desist from making such comments.
