Connolly silent over photographer abuse

Members of a 2,000-strong audience have expressed their shock after comedian Billy Connolly told an award-winning photographer she was “a fucking c**t”.

The comedian verbally abused Valerie O’Sullivan, the in-house photographer at the INEC, as she took pictures of him performing at the venue in Killarney, Co Kerry on Thursday night.

Despite having permission from both the comedian’s management and the venue to take pictures, Connolly rounded on the photographer.
