Claire Byrne rattled as Senator Rónán Mullen calls out RTÉ bias.

"You said there seems to be a general acceptance that that language was dated. Who said? For years we've only listened to certain politicians and NGOs being interviewed about those wordings."

Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness has told Newstalk that the referenda was a "complete cock-up" by government.

He said government has been ignoring the people and agreed it's time to abandon the hate-speech laws to focus on fixing basic problems like health care and school bus-runs instead.

"They've done huge damage in terms of public trust. They've exposed themselves as well as to how far they will go in their arrogance to get what they want."

He believes Fianna Fáil damaged itself going into coalition with Fine Gael and propping them up in the last government.

"It's hard to tell the difference between any of the parties in government, and that's not good for democracy."

Matt Carthy TD is on groveling duties for Sinn Féin. He told Newstalk that re-running the referenda is not on Sinn Féin's priority list at all and it won't be happening if they form the next government.
