excellent trolling from the producers, well played TV3

Classic it all played into Vincents hands. Legend and very funny.

Bring back Vincent, the last impartial journalist with balls in Ireland.

[@michaeldevaney5728]

He definitely is a great journalist but when he is interviewing people he should at least have the manners to allow people to speak

[@neilisagum]

@@michaeldevaney5728 Or....maybe when he asks somebody a straight question and that somebody decides to evade the question by waffling on about something completely unrelated to said question to not only evade giving an answer but also run down the clock, he's right to not let them do just that by calling them out.

I'm a member of an ICTU affiliated trade union and I've just watched the entire show (not just this clip). Jack O'Connor should not be appearing on current affairs programes. If SIPTU need to send someone, it should be a more composed individual. It is hard to believe that this stunt by O'Connor wasn't in direct response to Browne's quite obvious point that 4 years after being elected the bill about collective bargaining hasn't materialised, despite being in the programme for government between FG & Labour. O'Connor maintained that this bill would be introduced before the next election, to which Browne made the obvious response "How do you know?". Almost everyone appearing on Irish current affairs programs (representing political parties and other organisations) treats viewers with near or total comtempt and still expect to be treated as if they are honest, reasonable and professional people.

[@donallally4892]

We all miss him, there was great craic on his programs

[@SWEGTA]

[@dubreygaligly4943]

The whole argument is rather soft voiced and pleasant, even bashing each other they stay attentive trying to listen and make points without shouting over the other. Never seen that before.

[@PaidiCole]

Why did TV3 not leave in the part when Ruth Coppinger confirmed that the workers in TV3 do not have any rights to collectively bargain with their employer? Seems to be an alarming trend across all Denis O'Brien influenced media.

[@kerrysgold1]

Like everyone else..I miss Vincent so much. Just not the same 😭😭

[@gaelicd8328]

Its nice to see so many employers represented on this page

[@dararohan1209]

I just hate O'Connor's whole line. He pretends as though the Labour Party is still walking around with people like Connolly and Larkin. Another influential figure that no one knows about is William X. O'Brien. He was co founder of the Labour Party and had extremely radical views along with Larkin and Connolly for their time. He requested of the Irish Free State that Leon Trotsky should be given asylum. I may not agree with Trosky's politics or his followers but the point I'm trying to make is that there may be a reason why O'Connor, SIPTU and Labour might conveniently have no one hear of him. Political Gain. If people take on the message of Larkin, Connolly and O'Brien they're going to completely change Ireland and end up changing the world. We can speculate whether or not in the long run that would be beneficial or not but at the end of the day literally everything today is smoke and mirrors crafted by elites that include O'Connor and the Labour Party.

[@longmemory1620]

+Dara Rohan mark my words.. Vincent does not give a fuck about us

[@muireannryan4020]

Can you imagine the fun he would have with the shower that are in government now my god mí hole would have be in trouble 😂😂

[@michaelbermingham4502]

Did you see the face on Ruth Coppinger at 2:38? She was shitting it that she would look bad if she didn't walk out too. She was terrified, she didn't know what to do. "Well, can I just say.................."

[@EclecticSceptic]

I'm pretty critical of Ruth Coppinger, but that's not what she was thinking at all.

[@DundalkFC1903_fan]

[@swinfordmctaggartgarvey25]

Jack is exactly like the caricature David McSavage and co portrayed on The Savage Eye,,,

[@shanemccormack3038]

Classic Brown. What waa weird about that show is theyd have the commercial break about 5 minutes from the end so there was no chance of the politicians running down the clock. He did a fantastic grilling of Stephen Donnelly when he joined Fianna Fail.
