The moment the Faithfuls got rid of Traitor, Eamon. SCREENSHOT OF RTÉ
Tipperary garda Eamon, and a controversial contestant on The Traitors Ireland on RTÉ, has been voted off the popular show on Monday night after being outed as one of the three "Traitors".
As part of the programme, 24 people are put into a group, but hidden among them are Traitors who have to deceive, manipulate, and "murder" their way to a prize of up to €50,000.
The Faithfuls try to root out the Traitors before it is too late and the three Traitors on the hit show managed to kill off many contestants before the Faithfuls nabbed their first Traitor on Monday night in the form of Eamon.
In a hugely entertaining episode, the three Traitors ended up bickering and voting for each other in front of the Faithfuls without the Faithfuls' knowing, well except for one Faithful who wondered if they were witnessing: "A fight between Traitors?"

Eamon, 36, is a garda from Tipperary and was chosen as a Traitor in the first episode and was a key participant in the show and he polarised many people on social media with fellow Traitor and retired Prison Officer Paudie having heated exchanges with Eamon throughout.

Eamon signed off by saying he was not a "courier", but he was going to go back to being a "Faithful" member of An Garda Síochána because he lied to all of them and was sick of being a Traitor.
And with that, the remaining contestants erupted with rapturous applause as they had finally gotten rid of a Traitor and Eamon took his leave.
