Sharon Ní Bheoláin is a household name.
But apparently not to the Tánaiste Joan Burton, who referred to the RTÉ Six One News reporter as “Karen”.
Things get awkward when Sharon attempts to correct her but Joan just powers right on.
Obviously, Twitter was DELIGHTED.
Joan Burton just called Sharon Ni Bheolain 'Karen' ? pic.twitter.com/VckyvWjF7g

@SeanDefoe She's like, stop interrupting me Karen

@SeanDefoe at least she wasn't worried about Sharon's fingers intimidating her

@SeanDefoe Uh oh. Sharon might interview Joan like she's part of the Web Summit now.

Joan Burton looked spooked on 6.1 News. But was it the polls or just Karen/Sharon's leather'n'zips ensemble? #GE2016
