Singer Dermot Kennedy has apologised for using a racial slur during an interview after he was slammed by Traveller rights activists for using the term "knacker" as an example of Irish slang.
Kennedy was recently asked during an interview in Toronto to explain some Irish slang examples, telling the interviewer that the term "knacker" was "really bad".
"If you call somebody a knacker that's really bad, really bad, because the knacker is - to the best of my knowledge - like a horse in the yard that is like dying," he said.
