    I was speaking to a relative this morning and found it hard to believe, they said it was true. I can't find any mention of it on RTE or Irish Times, or any of the Irish papers. Never heard it mentioned on the radio.

    Apparently he made a really bad joke at a convention infront of someone from Africa?

    I thought he might have called a protester a knacker and was going to bitch about the k at the start of the word that you omitted.

    The familiy of Patrice Lumumba, the assassinated first Prime Minister of Congo, have demanded an apology from the Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny, who called the revered African liberation hero a '******' in a racist joke".

    That's a really old story - the article is from 2002.It's strange that it's being revived like it just happened - I saw it on my facebook feed a few days ago.

    He called someone a Nazi? Do you have a link?

    The context was that he was paying tribute to a friend who died a few days previously by recalling the friend's favourite anecdote which included a quote from a Moroccan barman which was insulting to Africans, which was the point of the story - the late friend thought it was highly ironic.

    Ill-judged, but he didn't "call someone the n-word".
