Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said EU Commissioner Phil Hogan should apologise for attending a golf event in Galway earlier this week.
The event in Clifden, Co Galway, was attended by more than 80 people on Wednesday including many public representatives. Mr Martin's comments come after Dara Calleary resigned as Minister for Agriculture and Jerry Buttimer resigned as Seanad Leas-Cathaoirleach today.
Mr Calleary and Mr Buttimer were among the guests at the gala dinner event in Galway. Speaking on RTÉ's Six One News, Mr Martin said the event in Galway was wrong and he said he "understands fully" the anger of people around the country who have had to make sacrifices during the pandemic.
