		Conor Lenihan’s intemperate attack on “racketeering doctors” and constitutency-driven politics may owe more to the desire for preferment in Fianna Fáil than a burning concern with the implementation of the Hanly Report (Irish Medical Times, 05/12/03).
		Conor’s father was a master of hospital politics.

	Richard Delevan's sicNotes: "Stick with the kebabs" - Fredo Speaks
		Dublin Southwest TD Conor "Fredo" Lenihan (pictured), the minister for silly walks, who is regularly asked by fellow TDs if he remembers where he parked his spaceship, has managed to exceed even his own enviable record for most entries in the Big Book of GUBU.
		He passed up several chances to ask for Lenihan's resignation as minister and TD, and instead used his time to focus on what is, for him, the real issue: the fact that the Turkish GAMA workers' plight still has not been adequately addressed.
		Conor is the Fredo of the Lenihan political dynasty, and it was Don Bertie's ultimate insult to the clan to the scion of the clan, Brian Jr, who by virtue of talent should be in contention to succeed Bertie as Fianna Fail leader, to elevate his

	Irish Times Article - Lenihan should not quit, says Minister (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Minister for Foreign Affairs Dermot Ahern has attempted to draw a line under the controversy surrounding the junior minister in his department, Conor Lenihan, who told a TD working on behalf of Turkish migrant workers to "stick with the kebabs" during a Dáil debate.
		Mr Lenihan, who is Minister of State for Overseas Development, has now apologised to the Dáil and personally to Socialist TD Joe Higgins over the remarks, which have led to calls for the Minister's resignation.
		Mr Higgins said Mr Lenihan's apology was not satisfactory, and he should give a more expanded explanation before the Dáil today, along with definitive proposals by the Government to address the ongoing issue surrounding the Gama workers.

		More disappointingly, the same stance seems to have been adopted by Green Party foreign affairs spokesman John Gormley who described Lenihan's outburst as 'unwise as opposed to racist.' Fintan O'Toole begs to differ; pointing out that the remark was made during a debate on a subject not remotely linked to race.
		It is not as if Lenihan had just gatecrashed controversy for the first time in terms of his portfolio.
		His point that Lenihan should have resigned is one that needs buttressing at a time when there is clear evidence of Ireland having a worryingly skewed sense of priority.

		But Lenihan decided, like a schoolground smartarse to throw in his comment, probably turning around in his seat to get a laugh from all the other fuckers in Fianna Fail.
		Conor Lenihan's own department would, through the embassy in London, have been out with all guns blazing to remind the Brits of "the importance of sensitivity by public authorities towards the distinctive social and cultural characteristics of the Irish people".
		I don't truly believe that Lenihan intended to be as offensive as he was - more down to a lack of wit than anything else.

		Posted by: Richard Delevan at May 18, 2005 02:58 PM As far as I'm concerned, the main issue is not the word 'kebab' itself but it is the context in which the word was used.
		Posted by: DCB at May 18, 2005 05:35 PM He should resign because the remark is most definitely racist; he should be sacked if he does not resign because the remark is not only racist but demonstrates exactly the wrong attributes required to fulfil his post adequately.
