“Ashamed to be Irish but yet you take half a million from the Irish taxpayers” – Ray D’Arcy called out over enormous salary and alleged radio comments




A concerned Irish citizen managed to get a quick word with Ray D’Arcy at the ploughing championships on Tuesday.

A lady was recorded calling Ray D’Arcy out on comments he allegedly made on the radio claiming that he was ashamed to be Irish. It’s hard to tell from the video, but it appears that D’Arcy tried to joke it off by saying that he said he was “embarrassed” (to be Irish), again it’s hard to tell as he is somewhat muffled.

The lady continued and demanded to know why he thinks the Irish taxpayer should help foot his enormous salary of €450,000, a breakdown of roughly €9,000 a week.

A very red-faced D’Arcy made a bee-line for base to where his RTE safe haven was. D’Arcy refused to answer the lady and just asked what her name is, to which she told him and continued to ask him questions but he appears to run off into the back of the RTE stand.

The footage was recorded by ‘The Irish Patriot’ and you can follow him on his Youtube channel here.
