## BBC World Service Reviews in Ireland

### ***** "Review"
Just class
-- Ronanmaca, 2024-07-19

### **--- "Changes"
Recent changes have certainly not improved the app experience
-- OutsideUK, 2024-05-12

### ***-- "Review"
I find your coverage of the ‘war’ in Gaza is very biased towards Israel . On the other hand your podcasts are very well researched and contain a great amount of sensitivity toward the people involved. 
Thank you ! 
Judy Burke.

### ***** "P"
Great reporting thank you
-- careysfort, 2021-09-07

### ***** "BBC"
I enjoy your wide ranging programs and often listen at night. Because you interview so many different people I couldn’t expect otherwise but I do often find speakers from Africa difficult to understand. Perhaps you could slow those speakers down?
Best regards,
Frank McCrea
