An update on this from today's Irish Times
"Tommy Tiernan dropped from Canadian tour
Comedian Tommy Tiernan has been dropped from a major comedy tour of Canada as controversy continues over recent comments he made about Jews.
The comedian was to perform on the Just for Laughs tour from October 28th to November 15th.
However, in a statement, the organisers said: "After speaking with him [Tiernan] over the last week, we agreed that it was in the best interest of everyone involved that he withdraws from the 2009 tour." The statement said Tiernan regretted that the comments he made attracted so much controversy."
It would appear that, if the racist apologists have difficulty in recognising racism when it leaps up and bites them in the arse, Tiernan's employers dont seem to have that trouble.
