Member of public had described town as ‘horrible’ on BBC chat show
The chairman of Fermoy’s Tidy Towns Committee, Fine Gael councillor Noel McCarthy has welcomed an apology by BBC chat show host Graham Norton following negative comments about the Cork town.
Last Friday night, Norton - who is from Bandon and has a home at Ahakista - issued an apology to the town of Fermoy. “Before we do anything, I must begin with an apology,” he said. “Last week, in the red chair, there was someone who was less than kind about the town of Fermoy. Well, suffice to say, the people of Fermoy were not happy - they were quite upset about it. So we’d like to apologise.”“It was a great boost for us because, as you could imagine, the comments from Zoe the week before really upset us here in Fermoy, and especially our Tidy Towns committee, because we’re very proud of the town.
