he's off to sue a woman for a field.... he said that because pat kenny 'the host' had sued an old woman over a fild where he lived. well done to that man and well said....
Poor that the audience didn't give this man a standing ovation. Everything he said was completely true, yet this audience of snobs laugh it all off with Pats joke at the end. The passion he shows is the type of passion that more people in this country should have to overthrow the Pat Kennys of this world who suck money out of this country. Fair play to him too bad more aren't the same.
Pat made a right clown out of himself with that final remark. He is no celebrity, neither are any of his RTE cohorts. Overpaid civil servants is what they are!
Valid point, dead on , Mr. Kenny says he cannot retire at 65 despite earning of 600,000,P/A, God help the graduate nurses on 22,000 P/A, its not retirement they are looking forward to, only a life of scrounging for a living..
the way people clap for kenny at the end just......sickens me. yer wan hanafin: we are all in this together. NO we are not , you are still taking from my pocket and I have no say but to pay you. IN THIS TOGETHER?
Its a joke how Kenny brags about giving everyone a voice when he completely ignored everything the man said. What the hell does it matter being allowed to voice yourself, when people won't even listen.
when you look back at it now you realise just how right he was and a shame on us all the we put up with all of that. My god " were all in this together " how far removed are these people !
An update for people on here ,pat kenny has gone off to newstalk for a reported 2 million a year! As the man on the show said,what justifies that obnoxious salary?
he gets paid 600,000 a year,hes been on the scene on rte for a long,long time..rte are employed by the state and that says it all,pat wont say what needs to be said,he stands for the government and rte,not the people..
yeah, minister "everyone is going through a tough time..." im sure Pat has it very rough with his 14,000 euro a week pay package for 11 hours a week a job....
the problem is Irish people in general are too nice and are afraid to speak up and when someone does there looked down upon for being rude eg look at the woman far left with blonde hair scorn @ 1:36
he is right..and fair play for him for speaking his mind..pat kenny and the rest on a unrealistic salary in this day(a day when we as a nation on our knees) should be ashamed of themselves for taking it!!
Great stuff. Good for him, I remember watching this live and being absolutely astonished, but fair play to him for calling it as he sees it! He really kept him quiet for the whole 2 minutes barrage. Kenny had no reply
At first I thought the guy was completely unhinged, but if you forget the shouting and listen to what he actually says it's not unreasonable. I think the audience kind of laughed at him because of his anger but still makes good points e.g. Pat Kenny getting 4x salary of the US President!!
Fair dues to the man. He's right you know. It's so damn frustrating that people like him are on the salaries they're on and for what? While the line gets bigger by the day, Kenny's harping on about what "fair" is. Put him in the shoes of say a family who's parents had jobs that earned enough to get them by week to week and had those jobs for years when suddenly their cut without so much as a thank you.
@ed campion What Pat earns is our business when we are forced to pay towards it, under threats of the loss of our liberty. If RTÉ funded itself completely from advertising and did not rely on gouging the public, then yes, his pay would be none of our business.
And has Pat felt any guilt and taken a pay cut? Probably not! That man in the giving out to Pat Kenny was 100% right. If only we all had the balls. Fair play to him.
I agree that the man may be probably have an emotional issue,however he still makes a point.Its easy for people like Kenny to pontificate from their priveleged,and undeserved,position while government policies turn the screw more on people like the unfortunate man in question.Its easy to dismiss him as he may not be as articulate or well presented as Kenny however he is a member of society and just as entitled to a voice.He approached it wrong of course however he made some valid points
"a fair, just society" Where the minister's elderly mother travelled with her abroad as a companion at the state's expense when she was supposed to be at eh work, JOKE. if that guy was off his meds he should stay off, his rants are just too entertaining to be missed, and if he's on meds more people should be taking the stuff, legend.
Audience around him were mortified I'm guessing but good on him....and I'd say yes he was or (is) suffering still but frustration more than illness I'd say...my God anyone losing everything around them wouldn't have the guts to do this but are thinking it...People need to seriously get what's going on around them in this country..!!!!
I don't care what any of you people say, Pat Kenny is smooth, charismatic angel sent by god to banish the demons of this earth. People like the man who sued a woman for a field.
give THIS man his OWN show, i have only today seen this for first time and he is WONDERFUL, he really articulates himself very well and i have NEVER seen anger like that on rte, AMAZING absolutely brilliant..replace Brendan o connor with this man, give him the saturday night show! ironically though i LIKE pat kenny, not saying his salary is justified, but i do enjoy him presenting!
The man, despite his shouting, does raise an important issue. RTE is a publicly funded body and as such surely the pay and conditions of its top earners should be called into question. Why is an RTE presenter paid the equivalent of thirty nurses, or firemen or teachers? I think Pat should have at least made an attempt to defend himself himself rather than retreating into an ad break. No one is above question in these challenging times.
The bigger issue here is why are RTE paying so much just to stop their top stars from going elsewhere. It's from a license fee that is compulsory in this country. If they get paid 150K or so, and go elsewhere, we can still watch them but pay much less in license fee for the privalege. T=Your man is right, if a little too angry!!!
for a bloke that seems a bit of a looper he is very articulate. plus he is right about the wages. i would nearly say bill o'reilly on fox news gets less than kenny and he has a show that goes out to 250 million people plus a huge global audience
he had a good & valid points , maybe if someone who could talk properly & was articulate had said it then it would of been a much more embarressing moment for pat kenny
The man was right in some of his criticism, there are a number of people within RTE who are paid as ludicrous wages, as our members of Irish Society who are paid to much. Lawyers on Tribunals paid E1700.00 a day, GP's whos public pat. list earned them E350,000 per annum, not counting private Pat., Prison Officers in excess of 100,000, Garda Civil servants,Nurses and Admin, they all are overpaid, and have helped to create Ireland of today, where many old People die with Out Dignity on Trolleys
In fairness, if you were offered Pat Kenny's salary would you turn it down for 'moral reasons'? I sure as hell wouldn't. Mary Hanafin, on the other hand, is in a state job that should be regulated by the government. Hell, the teachers and guards took a massive pay-cut. Why hasn't she? Cowen couldn't even demote her in the cabinet reshuffle. Minister for something else now.
i worked in heuston for 15 years . i met this bloke twice , and was stuck sitting beside him on the bus once . He seems to be like this all the time . HES NOT WELL . even though what he says is true . Seen him speak to other people and watched in case a fight woud break out . Im not a shrink but hes NOT all there .
About time someone stood up and said what the whole country agrees with...no wonder everyone is watching The Apprentice on a Monday night instead of overpaid Pat and his croneys
@JRoN1Mo dont know man i thought he did a great job as he said hes being waiting to say this for a couple a years now, all of it would be running trough his head. i thought he represented himself quiet well :)
This guy has a point, don't laugh at him. He's passionately expressing a valid argument. Atleast he had the balls to stand up for what he believed.
hes the most sane member in the audience even though he sounds insane,i agree with him
he's off to sue a woman for a field.... he said that because pat kenny 'the host' had sued an old woman over a fild where he lived. well done to that man and well said....
Poor that the audience didn't give this man a standing ovation. Everything he said was completely true, yet this audience of snobs laugh it all off with Pats joke at the end. The passion he shows is the type of passion that more people in this country should have to overthrow the Pat Kennys of this world who suck money out of this country. Fair play to him too bad more aren't the same.
The bloke with the yellow shirt is smack on, especially about Pat Kenny.
Well said, sir.
I love that man - speaking truth, we need more like him who will stand up and let their voice be heard.
Pat made a right clown out of himself with that final remark.
He is no celebrity, neither are any of his RTE cohorts. Overpaid civil servants is what they are!
I must watch this every couple of months it never gets old. Doing great things for the word pontificate since 2009
he did hundreds of irish people proud that night :)
"i'm off to sue a woman for a field"
Why where they laughing at him? He just voiced his opinion about ridicules salaries...
Give that man a medal.
A Legend :). "Im going to go off and sue an old woman for a field"... hahaha. Deadly.
AGREED. EVERYTHING HE SAID IS CORRECT.
Valid point, dead on , Mr. Kenny says he cannot retire at 65 despite earning of 600,000,P/A, God help the graduate nurses on 22,000 P/A, its not retirement they are looking forward to, only a life of scrounging for a living..
the way people clap for kenny at the end just......sickens me.
yer wan hanafin: we are all in this together. NO we are not , you are still taking from my pocket and I have no say but to pay you.
IN THIS TOGETHER?
Its a joke how Kenny brags about giving everyone a voice when he completely ignored everything the man said. What the hell does it matter being allowed to voice yourself, when people won't even listen.
The clip that just keeps on giving.
Pat Kenny, what a hypocrite. He interrupts the man to rush to an ad break, then says "we give everyone a voice". The man has a point!
when you look back at it now you realise just how right he was and a shame on us all the we put up with all of that. My god " were all in this together " how far removed are these people !
One of my favorite clips on TH-cam. We need some of this on American television.
man of the year again 2014. Will go down in history
An update for people on here ,pat kenny has gone off to newstalk for a reported 2 million a year!
As the man on the show said,what justifies that obnoxious salary?
Gotta love the way it was RTE that uploaded this!!
This never gets old!!!! The man is a genius!!!
SIX HUNDRED TOWSAND POWENS!!!!!
he gets paid 600,000 a year,hes been on the scene on rte for a long,long time..rte are employed by the state and that says it all,pat wont say what needs to be said,he stands for the government and rte,not the people..
yeah, minister "everyone is going through a tough time..." im sure Pat has it very rough with his 14,000 euro a week pay package for 11 hours a week a job....
I would like to shake that mans hand....! - Respect.....!
the problem is Irish people in general are too nice and are afraid to speak up and when someone does there looked down upon for being rude eg look at the woman far left with blonde hair scorn @ 1:36
Give that man a medal.
hahahah I love the way he says "I'm off now, to sue a women for a field"
he is right..and fair play for him for speaking his mind..pat kenny and the rest on a unrealistic salary in this day(a day when we as a nation on our knees) should be ashamed of themselves for taking it!!

Put him in the shoes of say a family who's parents had jobs that earned enough to get them by week to week and had those jobs for years when suddenly their cut without so much as a thank you.
I'd give RTE props for letting him speak and putting it on their TH-cam.
Fantastic to see Pat and RTE getting totaly owned for a change!!!! Well done to that guy for speaking his mind!!!!
Would have liked if Pat had made an effort to engage with the guy at some level somehow
@ed campion What Pat earns is our business when we are forced to pay towards it, under threats of the loss of our liberty. If RTÉ funded itself completely from advertising and did not rely on gouging the public, then yes, his pay would be none of our business.
What a pathetic response from Kenny.
And has Pat felt any guilt and taken a pay cut? Probably not!
That man in the giving out to Pat Kenny was 100% right. If only we all had the balls.
Fair play to him.
fair play to him
Yeah, that's OK, Pat. Make a smug little joke about what just happened and everyone forgets...
He's so right. What ludicrous wages RTÉ pay.
NOW THAT'S REALITY TV!
Pat Kenny Dosnt Deserve An Applause That Gut In The Yellow T-Shirt Should Be Gettin The Applause And Pat Kenny's Job...It Be Far More Intresting
they should of clapped for him
I agree that the man may be probably have an emotional issue,however he still makes a point.Its easy for people like Kenny to pontificate from their priveleged,and undeserved,position while government policies turn the screw more on people like the unfortunate man in question.Its easy to dismiss him as he may not be as articulate or well presented as Kenny however he is a member of society and just as entitled to a voice.He approached it wrong of course however he made some valid points
was Daniel o donnell pissed off cos they would let him sing ? seriously though he was right in his views :)
"a fair, just society" Where the minister's elderly mother travelled with her abroad as a companion at the state's expense when she was supposed to be at eh work, JOKE. if that guy was off his meds he should stay off, his rants are just too entertaining to be missed, and if he's on meds more people should be taking the stuff, legend.
0:37 Love The Way He Just Drops An Anger Level.
Pat Kenny is pure evil, I was glad when your man said that, made my day when I first saw it! :)
Audience around him were mortified I'm guessing but good on him....and I'd say yes he was or (is) suffering still but frustration more than illness I'd say...my God anyone losing everything around them wouldn't have the guts to do this but are thinking it...People need to seriously get what's going on around them in this country..!!!!
YOU LEGEND!!!!!!
Nov 09......... Pat & co still have their over inflated wages 2011!!!!!! typical Ireland!!!
I'm just glad I'm not paying €160 for the Plank anymore........
Okey. thank you very much for your contribution . we are unable to continue our program... without...with. this
I don't care what any of you people say, Pat Kenny is smooth, charismatic angel sent by god to banish the demons of this earth. People like the man who sued a woman for a field.
the problem is that it's 'that woman' and what she represents that's our problem
very good no wonder the tv station is broke with that wages
Fair play to that guy he was dead right
More people should speak out about these rediculous wages in RTE
He does have a point but this is freaking hilarious
great for people like us. No jobs. Dole being cut Child allowence being cut. this place is a hole.
first irish hero, my hero
I'm off to sue an old woman for a field
I wouldn't mind getting paid 600,000 a year for 11 hour's a week. LOL!
1 word LEGEND
Pat's gone from RTE and in too Newstalk. Good Riddance Pat.
i love how at 0:18 you can hear him start to go off
Pat Kenny failed so badly in trying to shut that man up it was hilarious
give THIS man his OWN show, i have only today seen this for first time and he is WONDERFUL, he really articulates himself very well and i have NEVER seen anger like that on rte, AMAZING absolutely brilliant..replace Brendan o connor with this man, give him the saturday night show! ironically though i LIKE pat kenny, not saying his salary is justified, but i do enjoy him presenting!
so you do think Pat Kenny warrants a 600,000 euro pay cheque?
The man, despite his shouting, does raise an important issue. RTE is a publicly funded body and as such surely the pay and conditions of its top earners should be called into question. Why is an RTE presenter paid the equivalent of thirty nurses, or firemen or teachers? I think Pat should have at least made an attempt to defend himself himself rather than retreating into an ad break. No one is above question in these challenging times.
@empirestatebuilding1
no, no its not reality tv
its a talk show that deals with news issues in ireland
If only everybody was like him and not asleep then maybe we would see some real change..
I love that guy
They should have smaller bar in the green room. 'People who do 11 hours jobs.' The funniest thing is he's totally right.
The bigger issue here is why are RTE paying so much just to stop their top stars from going elsewhere. It's from a license fee that is compulsory in this country. If they get paid 150K or so, and go elsewhere, we can still watch them but pay much less in license fee for the privalege. T=Your man is right, if a little too angry!!!
About time someone took him down a peg or 2 he made a living from coin it himself good man yourself
Fair play to him
for a bloke that seems a bit of a looper he is very articulate. plus he is right about the wages. i would nearly say bill o'reilly on fox news gets less than kenny and he has a show that goes out to 250 million people plus a huge global audience
legend!
he had a good & valid points , maybe if someone who could talk properly & was articulate had said it then it would of been a much more embarressing moment for pat kenny
Pat really is disgustingly overpaid
and did he get person of the year title?
The man was right in some of his criticism, there are a number of people within RTE who are paid as ludicrous wages, as our members of Irish Society who are paid to much. Lawyers on Tribunals paid E1700.00 a day, GP's whos public pat. list earned them E350,000 per annum, not counting private Pat., Prison Officers in excess of 100,000, Garda Civil servants,Nurses and Admin, they all are overpaid, and have helped to create Ireland of today, where many old People die with Out Dignity on Trolleys
In fairness, if you were offered Pat Kenny's salary would you turn it down for 'moral reasons'?
I sure as hell wouldn't. Mary Hanafin, on the other hand, is in a state job that should be regulated by the government. Hell, the teachers and guards took a massive pay-cut. Why hasn't she? Cowen couldn't even demote her in the cabinet reshuffle. Minister for something else now.
i worked in heuston for 15 years . i met this bloke twice , and was stuck sitting beside him on the bus once . He seems to be like this all the time . HES NOT WELL .
even though what he says is true . Seen him speak to other people and watched in case a fight woud break out . Im not a shrink but hes NOT all there .
say what you like,mad or not,the man had a valid point..
wonderfull tv
stuff like this only happens in Ireland
About time someone stood up and said what the whole country agrees with...no wonder everyone is watching The Apprentice on a Monday night instead of overpaid Pat and his croneys
He has an extremely fair point. Kennys patronising is sickening.
lets email it to rte news.
I want a tshirt of this guy
Did someone point out to this lad that we don't use pounds anymore?
its funny,hes right and pat knowns it
@JRoN1Mo dont know man i thought he did a great job as he said hes being waiting to say this for a couple a years now, all of it would be running trough his head. i thought he represented himself quiet well :)
I think his shirt is from Pennies
