We can only begin to imagine the red faces throughout TG4 today, as a major news blunder went live to thousands of viewers on Wednesday night.

Storm Ali winds wreaked havoc across the country on Wednesday leaving two dead, with one woman, a Swiss tourist, killed after her caravan was blown off a cliff in Clifden, Co Galway.

However, playing out a clip before the night time news went live, the station failed to pull a pretty insensitive ‘video bumper’, also known as an ‘ident’.

The clip depicted an ancient giant creature stomping through a field, crushing fences and carrying a caravan.

When the creature reaches the end of the field, they appear at the side of a cliff where they proceed to throw the caravan off the cliff and into the water.

The bumper was most likely automated which led to the mix up, however, it was enough for the station to garner public criticism.

TG4 released a statement in relation to the broadcast, saying: ‘The ident is one of a series of six idents, running since 2013, which are auto scheduled.

‘The ident broadcast ONCE yesterday, and was immediately removed from the schedule.

‘TG4 sincerely apologise for the unfortunate scheduling of this Ident and any undue stress caused.’
