SORRY: New FF era begins with an apology as Martin takes helm

FIANNA FÁIL leader Micheál Martin kicked off a four-week campaign to rescue his party from electoral wipeout by delivering an apology for its mistakes.

On his first day as eighth leader of Fianna Fáil, Mr Martin sought to bury the party’s recent past saying: “I am sorry for the mistakes we have made as a party and that I made as a minister.”
