  1. >“I’d like to clarify for the record that that was an act I put on. I pretended to be outraged and that in the video so as to frighten whoever was in there not to fight or attack me as I didn’t know what I was facing. That’s basically what we were at. The door had been broken and the situation came to an amicable solution.”

    Logic.

    Mr Burke said he owns a “moderate” number of properties in Tipperary, Laois and Offaly and believes more needs to be done to address the issue of derelict properties.
