Tipperary Man Finally Airs His 17 Year Gripe With 'Ear To The Ground' Live On TV3

Tipperary Man Finally Airs His 17 Year Gripe With 'Ear To The Ground' Live On TV3

The Vincent Browne People's Debate rolled into Tipperary this week and if it's shouting and one-liner comebacks you're looking for in your politicians that this episode of #VinB was an absolute thonker.

While Mattie McGrath and Seamus Healy were like two gramophones the entire night, it was a different man who caught our eye. This man is upset at the difficulty rural people have in getting planning to build houses on their own land. But his issue didn't end there.

You know when there's some sort of public debate or forum - maybe even an AGM of some sort - and there's always this one fella who has something he needs to get off his chest, by hook or by crook? This was that guy...

For 17 years he's been seething with RTÉ; with Miriam O'Callaghan, with Ear to the Ground and with Duncan bloody Stewart. Although maybe he likes Duncan, he wasn't very clear on that bit. Anyhow, this man has been waiting 17 years to air his grievances to nation about an incident in 'Mallaaa' Co. Cork and by God was he going to take his opportunity to go on a rant once it came.
