Said in Germany it would be jail

Today's Irish Star prints the words uttered by Tommy Tiernan at Electric Picnic.

The Archbishop of Dublin has to be complimented for expressing concern about the remarks allegedly made by Tommy Tiernan.

Tiernan's alleged remarks about the Holocaust are appalling. According to today's Irish Times the audience 'endorsed, sustained and enjoyed his comments'.

Did no one stand up and say this is not funny? That reality is worrying for all of us.

Is there any difference between what Tommy Tiernan said and what President Ahmadinejad said at the weekend.

If Tommy Tiernan repeated those words in Germany he would be jailed.

Had Dr Martin not spoken about it many of us would never have been made aware of it.
