Peter Casey - Ryan Tubridy was 'insulting','Patronising' and 'unprofessional'

Derryman Peter Casey who finished second in the Irish Presidential election has blasted Late Late show host Ryan Tubridy as 'insulting' , 'Patronising' and 'Unprofessional' following his appearance on Friday's show .

Speaking to the Niall Boylan Radio Show Mr Casey said he believed his appearance on the show was a set up to attack him for opinions expressed on the traveller issue . He said he met the host Ryan Tubridy in the green room and they agreed he would talk for a maximum of 4 minutes on the issue but instead the interview took a different turn with both the presenter and members of the audience turning on him .

I really thought he was supposed to be impartial , he was supposed to be professional ,

Do you believe you were set up ? ..

absolutely without a shadow of the doubt , the way he was so unprofessional , the way he behaved and very patronising throughout , he was insulting , he was such a big contrast to the friendly person in the green room

Mr Casey said he was also "shocked" when at one point in the interview , he asked Tubridy if he had lost control to which Tubridy replied "Peter when I lose control , you'll know about it " .  Mr Casey added that following the interview his wife who had been watching the show with her friends was very annoyed and upset  .

I watched again in disbelief as Tubridy not only treated @CaseyPeterJ with contempt but when asked as a presenter “had he lost control” he used a very threatening tone when replying “I’ll tell you something Peter, when I do you will know about it”. #latelate pic.twitter.com/kDqvvNbfSs
