You Kenn not say 'K' word, Dermot

DERMOT Kennedy has been told to apologise after using a racial slur during an interview. 

The Giants hitmaker has been slammed by Traveller Rights activists after he used the term “k*****r” as an example of Irish slang.

In a video posted online by music channel Much, Kennedy was asked during an interview in Toronto on June 10 to provide examples of Irish slang and explained “knackered” was a term used to express tiredness.

He then discussed his understanding of a shortened, “really bad” version of the word.
