The presenter’s comment was neither balanced nor objective, and people’s beliefs for or against IVF should not have been dismissed in such a manner, according to the complainant.

The complaint was about lack of impartiality in an RTÉ news report on the preparation of Catholic children for the sacraments in Irish schools.

"The degree of offence may have been minimised if the presenter had demonstrated greater sensitivity to the potential for offence,” stated the BAI.
