    But let's get one thing straight, Tammy is a Limerick person through and through, she may not be your cup of tea, but should she be hidden away and not allowed on a television show because some of you feel she helps to portray a negative image of our city.

    True. But I know plenty of people who are "Limerick through and through" who have manners, are not rude, and can hold a conversation. They came across as downright rude, with a chip on their shoulders........

    so would you say the dublin lady was rude at all? or is it only rude if you have a regional accent.

    Yes but this trait can be applied to people of all socio- backgrounds!

    Read back my last post. I know plenty of people with "regional accents" who are witty, not rude, don't have a chip on their shoulder, can hold an intelligent conversation....

    The others in my opinion, at least had basic manners. Danny and Tammy could have at least tried to have some manners, or be some way polite in the restaurant in Dublin. She had to resolve to insulting the Dublin one about botox and plastic noses. She is no oil painting herself. The Dublin couple weren't really my cup of tea, but I would rather go for a few pints with them or the Galway couple.

    She was as thick as a fecking plank "I was generated from travellers" , "I don't like oafs in my food", "I got a wift in the limo". FFS.... Do people think before they speak at all? I have no time for ignorance or general thickness. I cannot tolerate it, and if you think it's alright, best of luck to you.

    You've totally missed my point Im not saying she wasn't all of those things and if you wish to focus on those thats fine! My original point was that people felt that they portrayed Limerick in a negative light!
    They portrayed themselves in a negative light and has no reflection on Limerick as a whole!

    I agree with you, they portrayed themselves in a very bad way I think. I should have read your posts again! However, you'll get people who might think this is the norm for city folk in Limerick to behave like that. In the grand scheme of things, it makes good tv.........

    If people are misguided enough to think that all people in Limerick behave like this they are the fools!

    There are a lot of fools out there! Lots of people still think Limerick is like the wild west as a result of the media..........

    Tammy was a perfectly balanced person i.e. she had a chip on both shoulders. They let themselves down badly. Not Limerick!
