The BBC cut part of Derry Girls actress Siobhan McSweeney’s winning speech at the Bafta TV Awards last night in which she criticized the Government.
The 43-year-old actress from County Cork played Sister Michael, principal of Our Lady Immaculate College on the Channel 4 program.
McSweeney won TV’s first-ever Bafta award for best female performance in a comedy program and spoke very quickly in her speech given the short time available.
He used the speech to criticize the ‘contempt, ignorance and stupidity of your so-called leaders in Dublin, Stormont and Westminster’ – but this was cut short on BBC One.
