Rory Cowan: I want to punch God over mum’s dementia

Mrs Brown’s Boys star Rory Cowan is angry at God and would like to tell him he’s a “sick prick” following his mother’s diagnosis with dementia.

Cowan, who plays Rory in Brendan O’Carroll’s hit TV comedy series, was applauded by the studio audience for his comments on The Ray D’Arcy Show on Saturday.
