Lord Kilclooney embroiled in another race row after describing Leo Varadkar as a "typical Indian"

"Typical Indian" - a two-word tweet by the former senior Ulster Unionist Lord Kilclooney, which has sparked outrage this morning.

"Typical Indian" - a two-word tweet by the former senior Ulster Unionist, Lord Kilclooney, which has sparked outrage this morning. The cross bench peer was referring to the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, who the DUP accused of 'poor manners' over his visit to Northern Ireland yesterday. Lord Kilclooney has been accused of racism - he rejects that and says he won't withdraw the tweet. Vinny spoke to 麻豆社 NI political correspondent Enda McClafferty, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long, commentator Lata Sharma, Fianna F谩il TD Timmy Dooley and we took your calls.

Also on the programme, is the 麻豆社 right to waive the licence fee for the Royal wedding? Vinny got the views of Duncan Larcombe, former royal editor for The Sun newspaper, and commentator Eamonn McCann.

Plus, the PSNI has told the Nolan Show that online scams are happening more and more. In the most recent case one lady was scammed into letting criminals access her computer after cold calling her. She lost thousands of pounds which she might not get back. Superintendent Simon Walls told Vinny about this latest incident.

And, a minimum price for alcohol comes into force in Scotland today - is it time Northern Ireland followed suit? CEO of Hospitality Ulster Colin Neill and commentator Dave Atherton discuss.

All that and more on the biggest show in the country.
