AN RTE star has made a light-hearted dig at Eric Roberts after he jokingly slammed Dublin beaches in a sarcastic clip.
The Ireland AM host, who hails from Donegal, regularly commutes to the capital for work.

Eric often gives fans a glimpse into his daily life on social media and yesterday he took to Instagram to poke fun at one of Dublin‘s popular coastal spots.
The dad-of-one shared a short clip from the beach in Clontarf, saying: “We just called down to the beach here in Clontarf.
“The beaches in Dublin are a little different to the beaches in Donegal.”
As he turned the camera to show his surroundings, Eric sarcastically listed some of his “favourite” features of the spot.
He joked: “Some of the favourite features are the yard long patch of sand that they have going up the water.
“Also these rocks that if you step on you would most certainly die and probably the stand-out feature is the noise of the industrial work that’s happening just over the water there.”
He wrapped up the video by saying: “But a gorgeous day out nonetheless.”
Eric cheekily captioned the post: “Beach – sort of.”
And one Irish star was quick to hit back at the Virgin Media presenter in the comment section.
Former RTE star Glenda Gilson wrote: “Go back to your own beach so.”
Other fans and friends also took to the comments to share their thoughts on his post.
Christine wrote: “You cannot beat a Donegal beach for the wild space! Although I do love Kerry beaches too.”
Mary said: “My husband is from Donegal and his mam went to Kerry with us. At the ring of Kerry they both said at the same time, ‘Eh it’s alright, nicer at home’.”
Another added: “The Velvet Strand Beach in Portmarnock on the Northside is where you need to go!”
FAM FUN
Eric recently left his fans gushing after he shared “adorable” new snaps with his son.
The Donegal native and his wife Niamh welcomed their first son Rían into the world in January, in a special New Years surprise.
Eric and Niamh tied the knot back in August 2023 in a church wedding surrounded by friends and family.
The young host, who often appears on the hit morning show, has been sharing glimpses into their life since welcoming their little one.
The TV star took to his Instagram to share a round up of sweet moments from June including snaps from work, home and family life.
He shared behind the scenes pictures from the Virgin Media studios along with wholesome snaps of what he’s been up to throughout the month.
