Today FM producer brands reaction ‘crazy’

THE radio producer subjected to garda questioning over the Brian Cowen paintings has branded the Government’s reaction to the incident as “crazy“.

Will Hanafin, producer of the Ray D’Arcy Show on Today FM, found himself at the end of a Garda quizzing after revealing on air that the mystery artist who caused the stir had been in contact with the station, firstly through a friend back in January and then early this week when the controversy over his work erupted.

“A garda arrived at the station, badge on display, on official business and asked for the email contact details for the artist and when I refused he said he could get a warrant to search the station’s email,” Mr Hanafin said.
