Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua riri te Pirimia o Ireland ki tētahi karere ataata o te Rā o St Patrick mai i te Pirimia o Tony Abbott, nāna i whakapae he whakatairanga i tētahi 'whakaaro Irish atamira' o te whenua. I kii a Enda Kenny ki te Irish Independent kua matakitaki ia i te riipene ataata a Mr Abbott, a kua paopao ia ki nga korero a Mr Abbott e kii ana ko Ireland te kupu taurite mo te inu nui o te waipiro. I whakahe a Mr Abbott i te wiki kua hipa mo te karere ataata i reira i whakaahuatia ai e ia te ra o St Patrick hei ra kotahi o te tau ka 'he pai ki te matomato'. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ka rite ki a koe e kite ana, kua mau i ahau toku here matomato mo te take. Kua whakawakia a Tony Abbott mō tana karere 'patronising' o te rā o St Patrick. 'Kua kīia nā te Ingarihi ngā ture i hanga, nā te Puka i hanga te moni, nā te Pākehā i hanga ngā waiata,' e ai ki a Mr Abbott i roto i te ataata. E kī ana ia ko te rā rongonui o Ireland 'he rā nui mō te hunga Irish, me te Ingarihi, te Vietnamese, te Cambodians me te katoa e āwangawanga ana ki te haere mai ki te rōpū'. Ka mihi atu a Mr Abbott 'kaore au e taea te noho ki reira ki te tohatoha i te Guinness, e rua, e toru pea.' I kī te Pirimia o Ireland, e mōhiotia ana i te reo Gaelic ko te Taoiseach, kua rongo ia i ngā kōrero a Mr Abbott, ā, kāore i pai ki a ia. 'Kua rongo au i ngā kōrero a te Pirimia. I hanga e ia. Kāore au i te whakaae ki tērā", te kī a Mr Kenny ki te Irish Independent. "Ki taku whakaaro he mea tino tika kia maha nga iwi Irish i Ahitereiria ki te whakanui i te ra o St Patrick me te wiki o St Patrick, me te mahi i runga i te huarahi tino kawenga. 'Kua roa te tirohanga o te tirohanga a te kapa Irish. Ka paopao ahau ki tērā. Ki taku whakaaro he mea tino nui kia maarama tatou he ra motu ta tatou ka taea te whakanui i te ao katoa, te Ra o St Patrick. ' I mihi a Mr Abbott 'Kāore au e taea te noho ki reira ki te tohatoha i tētahi Guinness, e rua, e toru rānei' 'I tūmanako ahau kia nui ake te karere pakihi i roto i tētahi ataata i hangaia mō ngā take pakihi,' i kī mai tētahi kaipakihi Irish ki te Irish Times. He aha tēnei e whakaaro ana ahau?
I kii a Enda Kenny ko nga korero a Mr Abbott i whakatairanga i te 'whakaaro a Irish' o te whenua. 'Kua rongo au i ngā kōrero a te Pirimia. Kāore au i te whakaae ki tērā,' i mea ia. I puta mai te Pirimia a Tony Abbott i roto i te karere ataata i runga i YouTube. I whakaahuatia e ia ko te rā kotahi o te tau e 'he pai ai te noho matomato' ai I tukuna atu e Liberal ki te Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce me te Lansdowne Club engari kaore ano kia whakatangihia i te ra o St Patrick. E ai ki nga korero, i riri nga kaiarahi pakihi o Ireland i te kore e whakahua i nga pakihi. 'He mea whakamiharo te kore mōhio o Mr. Abbott,' i kī tētahi kaipakihi.
