    Taoiseach Enda Kenny proves you just shouldn't be judged on your family. His nephew, Kevin Hastings, from Westport, Co. Mayo was jailed today with a sentence of seven months for a number of crimes including car theft, burglary and driving while under the influence of drugs (also for stealing Dutch Gold in a Tesco in Swindon).

    what the fup do they mean that the little bollix had no insurance or licence at the time of stealing someone elses car keys from their house while off his head on valium!!!!!!!!!! they have an amazing way with words when it suits them!!

    As for the families request for privacy at this time, well if it's good enough for the rest of us plebs...

    You seem to be under the impression that Enda Kenny is judged on his family and that his family have to be perfect, a member of his family got into trouble same as lots of people do, it's no big deal.
    I don't see it as a reason to have a go at the Taoiseach or his nephew.

    Too true, the OP wasn't expecting the thread to go this way though.

    beside, he is Taoiseach so wheather his nephew was/is in jail or not won't affect the public or the economic state the country is in. Nobody's else business anyway. :)

    I have zero time for Enda Kenny but, 2 things:

    a. every family has its crap
    b. nobody should be held accountable for the actions of another

    I'm guessing Tesco in Swindon was actually Tesco in Swinford?

    This young fella was probably banking on a property tax exemption. He can kiss that goodbye now.

    Yes we are, you want to laugh at the the taoiseach and his nephew and I don't.
    No family is perfect and we could all have family members who are in trouble with the law.

    Awww, give the kid a break, he clearly comes from a bad family. Take a look at his uncle beating up on disabled children and breaking into pensioners bank accounts... pure scum, the kid never stood a chance.

    Morto for Enda Kenny, his nephew robbed a crate of Dutch Gold (and a car)
    Sounds like that "journo" is a young fan of the gold himself.
    Why do people even read that joe.ie ****e when all joe.ie do is take news from the Independent and man-gossip it up?

    The humour here comes from the fact that it's Enda, not the office of the Taoiseach. If similar news of Bertie Aherne's nephew had come out, it would have been "Drumcondra mafia" jokes and "keeping it in the family". But since Enda is such a straight laced, pole in the arse type of fellow, its especially funny knowing the squirming he'd be doing at this news.

    He must be extremely disappointed having an Uncle like Enda.

    I don't think his life should be made any harder because of it - it's no fault of his is it that his Uncle turned out the way he did.
