Is it really a PC issue, or just a different marketing tactic? (I am not sure, of course, but I believe you're talking about a new style of RTE1 Angelus?

well thats i thought originally, but with this new layout, it could mean anything, it could be an advert for sliced pan bread if it wasn't in the angelus slot

Thought it was mostly swans if you are talking about the footage from Limerick.

Maybe it is a spin on the old feeding the masses with bread trick that Jebus used to do.

Serious answer - RTE changed it so it would be "a moment of reflection"

Unserious answer - Rte are attempting to rip off the kids show "Ducktales"

I might be wrong here but, it could be a grandad and his granddaughter feeding some ducks?
