LAST NIGHT, BRYAN Dobson called a group of protesters “idiots” live on the Six One News.

The incident happened during an interview with economist Ronan Lyons, which Dobson cut short after the protesters appeared in the background.

Dobson’s comments about the protesters – who were demonstrating against payments to bondholders – have drawn a negative reaction on Twitter.

(DailyEdge.ie contacted RTÉ for comment this morning, but is yet to hear back.)

But the question on everybody’s lips has been: what does Ronan Lyons think? Was he upset about the interview being disrupted?

Well, we finally have an answer:

The perfect response.
