>Sitting in the ‘Big Red Chair,’ the audience member told Graham she had lived in the Cork town for 20 years before labelling it ‘horrible’ and adding ‘I hate it’.
So a better headline would be **Fermoy locals outraged after Fermoy local labels town ‘horrible’**
“Horrible” is relative.
For example, people who live in Cork might think that Fermoy is a lovely place.
He’s kind of right though, it’s a bit of a kip innit
That whole article is a shambles essentially the locals are saying
“How dare she have an opinion in front of so many people?”
Like the fact of the opinion isn’t inherently wrong but how dare she make her opinion widely known.
Not actually refuting it properly or denying it properly, straight up implying that she’s kinda of right but it’s the telling people that is wrong.
One wonders why she lived there so long, if it was that horrible. And it isn’t.
Now I’ve never been to Fermoy, but if Graham says it’s an utter shithole that time and hygiene forgot, then I’d believe him.
It’s like they’ve never heard of sarcasm. Your one was a bit touched.
Ah lads. If the Fermoy locals don’t like it then they can just pick up the Sky remote and change the channel with one of their 12 fingers.

> “It is a nice town; they won some Tidy Towns thing before so you know, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Tidy towns is for vapid people who exclusively judge a book by its cover and it does nothing but paint over problems.
Of north Cork towns Fermoy comes anywhere between first and last because they are all interchangeable. Bridge, church, main street, yokles on tractors, hopeless parking, massive family owned superstore (“since 1930”) selling everything from ride on mowers to organic jam.
In fairness Fermoy is fine if you’ve never lived anywhere except Fermoy.
The last time it was in the news was for anti-refugee protests. Complete shithole.
I’m not saying Fermoy is an irredeemable shithole, but I’m also not saying Fermoy isn’t an irredeemable shithole.
Only town where someone has tried to sucker-punch me and I was only there the once.
What’s with Cork people always going on about north, south, east and west? It’s Cork
Can’t have women having opinions next thing you know they’ll be driving and then where will we be??
Newstalk… what a shambles; that 3rd photo is of Kenmare btw… Embarrassing
The Mallow and Buttevent locals collectively LoL’d (and a sigh of relief) 😂😌
I know he’s too big time for us now but man Graham imagine the world where RTE had managed to snag him for the Late Late. No shade to the Kielty. I’m happy to give him a ton of time to find his feet. It’s just nice to imagine him liquoring up ministers while they P. Flynn themselves next to Michael Fassbender and Jedward.
Sure is it not in the bog
Thats why every one moves to dublin
She’s not wrong.
So what. What a waste of time article.
It fucking is though
okay number 1. how is this news worthy? Gaza is being destroyed by Israeli invaders yet newstalk would rather talk about this fucking shit
and number 2. why do fermoy locals give a shit? how much of a petty bastard do you have to be to throw a fit because a random person called your town a pile of shite
Who cares? Because 1 man saying 1 thing it is going to destroy the town… if he said that about my town, I wouldn’t care
I spent my childhood in Fermoy, living on Clancy Street for ten years, I can confirm it’s an absolutely horrible place.
My dad lives in Watergrasshill so I spent a lot of time there growing up. I know the towns surrounding it very well also, including Fermoy. Hate to say it but Fermoy is a dump lol. I’m not saying Watergrasshill is paradise but Fermoy really is a kip. No offense intended but the woman was dead right
So what
I mean……she’s not wrong
Very nice of them to include a photo of Kenmare in the article
Like let’s call a spade a spade. Fermoy is shite. I’m from Mallow so I know a shithole when I see one….
The truth hurts eh.
This is a bit embarrassing getting so upset over it
“they won some Tidy Towns thing before so you know, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
I am not sure if that comment was for or against the statement.
