Pat Kenny nearly loses rag with Jack O'Connor

darkman2

lol, anyone just see that. An "ooooh" moment. Pat Kenny had a go at that Jack O'Connor union guy when he described Pat Kenny's house as a "trophy" house.


Pat Kenny: "I built my house in 1988 - I don't want this crap thrown at me..." - Jack O'Connor appoligises for "offence caused".


Jack O'Connor is coming across as a bumbling fool really though. "Trophy houses" - ffs.

Poor Pat ....I guess if you've seen one recession, you've seen them all.

I'm loving this. Very entertaining. Brightened up my day.

I'm sure he knows the year- I mean adverse possession and all that.

How can this man be the voice of so many..

Should Pat ponder to the Slacker Sponsor Unions because he built his house at a good opportune time...

pat said crap on tv

imme

yeah, it woke the program up a bit. It's all quite dry.

The_Minister

I'm liking Pat a lot more since he no longer has to play nice, after he left the Late Late Show.

Good to see him put the smack down on someone.

How many nurses would you get for pat kenny's salary?

cherryghost

his wife is a nice trophy alright. his best acheivement... EVER

jumpguy

Jack O'Connor did overstep the line though, and took it personal with Pat. It was a good segment though, Jack got hammered, was talking out of his arse for the most of the time.

Pat Kenny is the man.

All of you naysayers might call him a lifeless shell of a man, but how come you're not original enough to call him anything other than a "plank?"

mickdw

That Jack fella was on vincent brown a few weeks ago and I was waiting for Vincent to go to town on him but no, nice as pie. Pat was having none of his crap though. Unusual for RTE I have to say.

segaBOY

Even though Pat is still seriously overpaid he still took a voluntary long before those two muppets Gerry Ryan and Ryan Tubridy were forced to.

Says a lot about him, seems to have some economic understanding hence him not letting Jack O' Conner get off the hook.

Cianos

Was a fairly pathetic comment to make. Sounded very begrudging and petty which did his argument no favours at all.

They are calling him something other than a "plank", they're calling him a lifeless shell of a man.

I'm pretty sure they're calling him a "plank" too.

He walked into that one really.
Who could have resisted such a smart-arsed answer.

Yes but your post said they weren't original enough to call him anything else, I counted 2 insults.

Okay then, you concede. I still think he's the man though.

I don't know how, but can someone take a screenshot of Pat's face in the last second?

It precisely the reason I the new Pat Kenny.

Good lad Pat.

Who cares when his house was built...it's where he's living at the minute that yer man was talking about.

That wouldn't be the Gorse Hill that Pat went through all that legal ****e for would it?

Same Gorse hill with an estimated value of €10,000,000?

God no, sure Pats a common man.

Go Pat! :rolleyes:

The_Minister

Most of the value is in the land price though. His point about building it in 1988 is to make the point that while he would have put allot into it, he would not have spent millions.

Sir Gallagher

I dabbled in crazy weight without RTE, I was crazy straight
Patnah, I'm still spendin money from eighty-eight... what? Pat Kenny- Dead Presidents

Kenny is a straight up hustla!

It was a cheap dig and fair play to Pat for calling him on it.

Did he claim to be a man of the people during the interview?

I used to dislike him on the Late Late, he wasn't very good.

This new show suits him though, he really knows his stuff. Well done Pat for showing the union boss the line.

Someone has to.

Pat's the perfect representative of the saying

'Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life."

He hated interviewing celebrities and the like and so was useless at it. Politics was a passion in his personal life and I think that's why he is far better at that.

Here's a prime example of a Late Late gaff. Bet there isn't a person alive who can watch this without cringing:

That's not what he was asked though. He was asked what was considered a trophy house. Pats house - even though it didn't start that big - is that big now, and is considered a trophy house.

That was his point.
Cheap, yes - but oh so brilliant.

What did you want him to do, piss his money up against the wall of the Stoneboat?:rolleyes:

Jesus Wept

He's still a land grabbing squatter.

engrish?

Never liked the man really, until recently. That fool Jack O Connor was going for a cheap shot by trying to rally the tabloid support of "ah sure would you look where yerman lives on the hill".

F*ck that, he lives on the hill, someday I hope to too.



Not right beside him though, he might steal some of my garden :pac:

124k would barely get you 2 nurses in this country.

Jack O'Connor earns about 120k a year himself; I wonder what his house looks like.

There's been a few comments like this on the thread. Here are nurse's pay scales:

Staff Nurse 16,629 - 24,280
Senior Staff Nurse 25,954
Clinical Nurse Manager 25,155 - 29,912
Clinical Instructor 25,896 - 30,453
Assistant Director of Nursing 27,175 - 32,724

So 124k would get you 4 or 5 nurses.

It's amazing how many people are happy to give out about public sector pay when they know almost nothing about it.
