Chat show king Kenny criticised for ‘offensive’ Moyross jibes

BROADCASTER Pat Kenny was accused yesterday of hyping up Limerick’s crime image.

He told listeners to his morning RTÉ Radio One show that a media fuss over a gun he saw a youth handling in Moyross earlier this week was about as newsworthy as a “priest found in the Vatican”.

He was commenting on newspaper coverage on his encounter with a youth, aged around 16, who produced what the broadcaster said was a high power automatic handgun.
