We reported last week on Ian Harte's League of Ireland comments, and the negative reaction to them.
The former Ireland international claimed that LOI clubs were asking for too much money for young players, making moves to England more difficult for them.
Harte also had a dig at former Ireland manager and now St Pat's boss, Stephen Kenny, saying that he had "found his level", with Kenny responding by calling Harte "an empty vessel".
There was further controversy after it was revealed that Ian Harte is not a registered football agent, despite references to it in personal profiles.
This was after Shelbourne manager Damien Duff was asked about the spat between Harte and Kenny, and spoke about his severe dislike for agents.
Writing in his column for the Irish Mirror, pundit Eamon Dunphy also got in on the action, and was fairly blunt in his assessment of Harte.
He said:

And I find it soul destroying because there are so many good things about the League of Ireland right now. Duff, of course, is the main one. He is a man I could listen to for hours.
As for Ian Harte, I couldn’t listen to him for more than a minute before I’d get bored.
What he had to say about the ‘Irish League’ was unfair and wrong.
So to be perfectly blunt, he can f*** off with his viewpoint.
We didn’t need to hear it.
