TAOISEACH Enda Kenny has described comments by US Presidential candidate Donald Trump as “racist and dangerous”.
The Taoiseach went much further in the Dáil today in statements about the Republican frontrunner than the more conciliatory tone he struck in the US last month.

Asked for his views on Mr Trump while in Washington, Mr Kenny said it was not for him to comment on who the next President should be.
He described the battle between Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton as “a matter for the American electorate" but admitted the debate has been "very provocative and divisive".
However, in the Dáil this afternoon Richard Boyd Barrett of the Anti-Austerity Alliance asked Mr Kenny if he would be happy with the continued use of Shannon Airport by the US Military if they are under the command of Mr Trump.
He referenced the billionaire’s comments in relation to immigration.

In response, Mr Kenny said: “If Trumps comments are racist and dangerous, which they are, there is an alternative to vote for.”
