Sky News Richard Suchet has finally apologised for his slip up on television, that left a lot of Irish people very angry.
While reporting on the Golden Globes nominations, he claimed Saoirse Ronan as one of their own.

He was left red faced after a serious backlash from the Irish fans, who were not impressed.
Want to know how to pronounce Saoirse? Ire-ish. Easy.

Shout out also to @SkyNews for deciding to claim saoirse ronan as their own. How about leaving the Irish actors to the Irish people. Thanks😷

@SkyNews - Saoirse Ronan isn't British, she's Irish. So kindly flip off back to Geography class and stop claiming ours as your own.

He has now taken to twitter to apologise for his sin against the Irish.
On Saoirse, I apologise. It came out wrong. I know the UK can't claim her, of course. But the British would love to see her win for Ireland.
