    Kenny is useless, and is almost like a cat(little warmth and interaction)
    He is the most repulsive candidate and lead of any party I have ever seen.
    At the end of the day all politicians are selfish and only care about themselves! Kenny has been trained on body language and that is obvious considering the difference in oireachtas reports on him in january and now after the election date was set. He is a cold person who has no interest in people and I sure as hell aint voting him in. Plus he's from Mayo, people from the west don't give a toss about the east and vice versa may I add. There needs to be a mixture of in the Dail and a balanced mixture to work for every county. But I will agree, the national mess is more significant than individual areas so lets see how this works out..

    Do you think it's funny if someone calls an Irish person a white nig*er?

    Enda has shut down his enda.kenny@oireachtas.irlgov.ie account.

    How can I email the next Taioseach of this country? It is impossible.

    My email to Enda:


    "Fine Gael want to demote the Irish Language and eventually eradicate it from schools, and make Ireland a utopian English region.

    I have never heard such an anti-Irish policy in my life. Abolish Irish from the Leaving Cert? How dare you. How dare you put forward such a policy against our own culture.

    In my eyes, Fine Gael want to eradicate the Irish culture for their own financial interests.

    You have lost many, many votes because of your anti-Irish policy. I will never vote for Fine Gael again.

    If you try to demote my native language, Enda, I will do everything in my power to stop you.

    You are a traitor, Enda, and you want to eradicate the Irish language for you own financial gain.

    We will not allow this to happen."


    What absolute bull-****!

    The main groups up in arms about this policy are Teachers and Gaeltacht Groups.

    One of the main arguments I've heard is that the economy of Gaeltacht areas will suffer.

    They don't give a crap about the language or culture. All they care about is the money that Irish makes them and they've admitted that. It's one of the main opposition arguments ffs. To claim that FG are doing this is complete and utter hypocrisy especially when it's being done to try and save the bloody language.

    You may or may not be aware of this story from a few years back - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2002/sep/15/world.race

    It's doing the rounds on Facebook. I wonder why this is? Do you think it is being done in order to discredit him before the election?

    To be honest I wasn't aware of this incident at all. When I first read it I thought it was it was recent, but it's from 2002.

    For mobile users:


    Am I missing somnething? What did he call him? The report blanks the word completely out. Am I to assume it was the word, nig&%r?

    I still don't get the joke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,324 ✭✭✭RGDATA!


    I still don't get the joke.

    it's not a joke as such. it's an anecdote. you wouldn't be alone in not finding it particularly funny, but as I said before, most people would tell this one to friends if it happened them on holiday

    An absolute non-issue. I could lots of similar stories..does that make me a racist? No. He apologised at the time, all blows over.... boo hoo hoo. The only reason to bring this up now IMO is to attempt to get the UR A RACCIIISST focus of one Mr Micheál Martin and his, as recent as the last few weeks, woeful Chinese impression.

    I don't get the joke:o
