There are over 13 thousand Garda in Ireland and he is on national tv saying there all scum, Is just an uneducated stupid comment, Even worse when he pride's himself on trying to stop stereotypes against travellers ( and rightly so) but yet he does the same to the Garda ,

But instead he proves to be full of nothing and just rants anti government and Garda nonsense constantly. Wasted opportunity and hopefully he fades away now.

And don't get me started on the praise he heaped on the lads who destroyed and looted that Lidl (the shop that provides decent food at an affordable price to the lower income people he pretends to care about) - I was shouting at the computer screen when I was reading it. Cardboard Gangsters is a decent film though in fairness.

Most right thinking people would correctly have it the other way around. The guy is pure trash and how he gets any airtime is beyond me.

The lad-ee doth protest too much methinks. Disgusted by this tbh. Garda are front of line keeping the rule of law and order in our society. To be labelled as "scum" by Connors is a horrible term. This week some family will answer the door to a garda who will have to break the news to them that a family member has died in an accident. This week at least one member will be attacked trying to keep the peace. This week a garda will be spat at or verbally abused. This week at least one member will have to perform CPR on someone. This week at least one member will be st the scene of a car accident and witness some horrific scene. What will Connors or his like do this week?

Before labeling the Gardaí involved as "scum", he claimed that they were assisting ex-loyalist paramilitaries, saying: "What happened at North Fredericks Street with the guards, aiding and helping these ex-loyalist paramilitaries was a low-blow I think." Tubridy sharply interrupted by saying: "We don't know that they were that, so we need to hold back." Connors replied: "Either way they were scum. I think they were scum, and so were the guards that were involved. I think it's a new low." He offered a silver lining to the incident that took place during the week, saying: "A bunch of people got together and protested, and every day that group is getting bigger."
