Joanne Cantwell was in Ennis today for Clare vs Limerick at a sold out Cusack Park. Prior to throw in, Joanne Cantwell decided to ask Donal Óg Cusack about his conversation with the mother of Adam Hogan.
One man in particular wasn’t happy with this bit of banter ..
Absolutely shocking for Joanne to bring this up on air. A private off air conversation made public and already being used as more fuel for the online cowards. Ridiculous stuff. https://t.co/SlEaqRPPA7

Here are some of the comments online ..
I don’t see how any harm comes out of this. It’s funny. Donal Óg getting put in his place is just good entertainment.
Its banter people Jesus calm down, fecking snowflake generation 🙄
I’m not her biggest fan but come on. This is a bit of harmless stuff. Are we really looking sanitised, bland, terrified punditry, where everyone is terrified to say anything, in case it offends someone?
She can’t help herself. Always seems to want to put Donal Óg on the spot and embarrass him. Makes for awkward television. Zero taste, zero empathy. Drags every conversation down. Brutal to watch.
Ah will ya stop Derrick, that’s really not that deep. A pure light, fluff piece is all that was. You’re only trying to deflect now as ye were beaten out the gate.

Joanne is well able for the arrogant Donal Og
She hasn’t a clue,continually interrupting the panelists with silly comments always wanting to be the centre of attention
