 Channel 4 issued a press release stating that "This in the development process and is not currently planned to air... It’s not unusual for sitcoms to exist against backdrops that are full of adversity and hardship".Protesters from the Irish community planned to picket the offices of Channel 4 and campaigners called the proposed show 'institutionalised anti-Irish racism'.In January 2019 Azelia Banks made disparaging comments on Instagram about Irish people after a row with a flight attendant on an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin.
