RTE Prime Time viewers all saying the same thing as Richard Grogan appears on show

RTE Prime Time viewers were all delighted to see a familiar face pop up on Tuesday evening's show.

Solicitor and legal expert Richard Grogan was a guest to discuss the regulations surrounding the return to offices.

The long-awaited details of a new law that will give Irish workers the right to request remote working were revealed by the Tanaiste on Tuesday.

Leo Varadkar published details of the new regulation which will be introduced in order to "make better terms and conditions for workers a legacy of the pandemic".

The Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021 will provide a legal framework for the first time on working from home requests and refusals.

Richard was joined by Robert MacGiolla Phadraig of Sigma Recruitment on the panel.

But all anyone could focus on was the solicitor - wishing him to say his iconic catchphrase.

One person tweeted: "I just want Richard to say ‘that’s the law and that’s a fact’ on this show. I feel like I’m waiting for it

"Dying for Richard to say #thatsthelawandthatsafact live on #rtept" said a second, while a third added: "Waiting for Richard Grogan to say the line"

Grogan, an Employment Law and Personal Injury Law Solicitor, has seen his popularity skyrocket in recent months as a result of a number of clips on TikTok, where he dishes out legal advice in short clips.

Richard, who has been in the business for over three decades, currently heads up RGA Richard Grogan & Associates Solicitors in Dublin.

But he has become so popular that now there are people trying to impersonate him.

"Now, the fake accounts are running wild. And we have a new one up now - richardgrogansolicitor1." he explained in a clip recently.

"Not me. If you see any of these kind of accounts, always click into them and see if there's a few videos and if you don't see a video of me going 'that's the law and that's a fact' you can take it that this is some lowlife who has set up their own account to try and mislead people.

"If you're trying to rip me off using my photograph and pretending to be me, well, I've got news for you. That's a criminal offence. And I'm going to report you to An Garda Siochana, because that's the law and that's a fact."
