The 'aul racism now, is it?

Senator nobody says he'd rather not take a non national home after a few pints. This racism or common sense? Should we support our own in a time of crisis?

Meself, I don't like taxis full stop. I'd rather not drink than deal with them.

He's a fool. My best nights have involved taking a non-national home after a few pints...

smash

After the first sentence I thought he was talking about getting a shag.

Kylo Ren

What about Rihanna like?

Death and Taxes

Yup thats racism alright, I notice he issued a half hearted apology later.
And this is the man the Mickey "clean hands" Martin has leading FF in the Seanad, looks like FF policy on non Irish Nationals hasn't changed since they referred to the Turkish workers being ripped off here as "kebabs".

Yeah, because just saying "well, i'm not being a racist, but..." automatically negates any racistness bulls1te he's about to come out with.

An OBVIOUS non-national. Nothing to do the colour of skin or anything. Just using his built-in non-national radar.

Typical thicko policitian.

Would rather be branded a racist than actual do something useful like introducing something akin to The Knowledge that London cabbies must have before being granted a taxi licence.

Still at least he has the cop on to get a taxi after a few pints than drink drive like some of his compadres in Leinster House.

token101

To be fair to him it's a 30 second clip which gives no context, but he did say "obvious non national", followed by "nothing to do with the colour of their skin".

smash

Now that token has posted, this thread can't be classified as racist...

mconigol

Maybe do something about taxi drivers not knowing where they are going rather than complaining about it?

Oh wait he's a senator

What did the eejit want to say that for?
I see it myself at work, with the elderly and older people, when something like this is mentioned.

'That senator/ TD is right, you know, I'd be the same'.

It normalises it for some people. Horrible comment and no further context makes it ok.

scumbag.

At first I thought he must mean black people but it can't be that because afterwards he said it's NOT to do with the colour of their skin.

oh yeah and he was genuine with the colour of the skin comment.

''I have no problem with blacks, but i don't like them''

his apology is pathetic. Contradicts what he said in black and white.

ff racist scumbag.

The fact that he's a septuagenarian doesn't excuse his racist twaddle.

Sorry, confused him with Fergal Quinn.
Paschal Mooney is only 65, still old enough to know better!

Doc Ruby

Can we close up the Seanad already, it's nothing more than a bargaining chip to give comfortable pensions to failed politicans, and in this clip we see why they failed. Waste of good money that could be paying for education or something.

Zebra3

So I assume he'll be kicked out of whatever political party he is in..... :rolleyes:

Where To

I think I'll apply for a British passport andhang it from my mirror so I can avoid customers like theSenator.

He must therefore be reffering to all those feckin Norwegian taxi drivers. You know the ones with the flags and the viking hats that take you to Corofin instead of Coolock

I can see his point. If i was out for the night and had to get a cab home i would make sure it's an Irish driver that gets my custom and my money.

They're all going to overcharge you for the distance you're going, what the shit does it matter what nationality you think they are?

Am i a racist because i will not shop in Tesco because they are English owned?

Am i a racist because i look for the guaranteed Irish mark on goods before i buy them??

Is that what we call supporting our own Ireland style 2013 now???
