After Kerry TD Michael Healy Rae told Newstalk Breakfast that he wanted an apology for the way he was treated on the Tonight Show on Virgin Media One, Ivan was in no mood to back down today on the Hard Shoulder.

He kicked off the show by saying that he 'doubles down' on what he said about Healy Rae practicing 'leprechaun politics' in front of the FAI's John Delaney at the Oireachtas Sports Committee yesterday, and said there is a really serious issue at hand here.
