At a public meeting in Gort in County Galway a farmer attending the meeting threw two bags of animal excrement at Fianna Fáil junior minister Anne Rabbit and Fine Gael back bencher Ciaran Cannon.
On Friday’s Joe Duffy Show, Katie Hannon, who was standing in for Joe Duffy, interviewed the offending farming. Is it not unusual to interview on national radio a person who behaves in such a manner?
And then on Sunday the subject was discussed on the Brendan O’Connor Show. When some of the panellists were about to make a comment on the behaviour of the farmer who threw the two bags Brendan immediately ended the discussion. It seems as if he was not willing to hear one negative comment about the farmer.
It is of course the job of the Garda to follow up on an alleged crime and the courts to decide if the person is guilty of a crime.
Would RTÉ interview a person who had the possibility of being arrested for a wrong doing? Doubtful.
Throw bags of manure at TDs seems to be one way of appearing on RTÉ. Odd.
