Comedian: Racist abuse of husband no laughing matter

A trip home for comedian Tara Flynn and her American-born husband was a chance for both to enjoy the beauty of her hometown of Kinsale.

But neither of them reckoned on him coming face to face with the ugly side of one of the most scenic towns in Ireland.

Carl Austin, an African American from Los Angeles, was subjected to racist abuse one night recently while walking the family dog.
