The comments were followed by a backlash from Fermoy residents, with local Fine Gael councillor and Tidy Towns committee chairman Noel McCarthy saying they were"horrifed", adding that complaints would be lodged.On his show on Friday, October 20, the Cork native began the 'Big Red Chair' segment with a brief acknowledgement of the drama and issued an apology.
"However, on the upside, Fermoy did win the cleanest town in Ireland in 2007 and 2018 so I'd imagine it's still quite clean. Big up to Fermoy," he said. It seems like justice has indeed prevailed for the residents of Fermoy, who can now sleep easy with their clean reputation restored.Tommy Tiernan fans warned they'll be kicked out of show if they use phones5 shares
