Author under fire over book comments

THE head of the Irish Taxi Federation, John Usher, has hit out at remarks made by Cork cabby Ken Cashman in a book he published last month.

In the self-published book, Mr Cashman refers to some of his passengers as “butch looking lesbians”, “stunning blondes” and “busty brunettes”.

He also refers to a cross dressing gentleman as “it” and says he refuses to carry Travellers in his car at night.
