Newspaper’s publishers apologise to senator for Rwanda articles

The publishers of the Irish Daily Mail have apologised to Senator Fidelma Healy Eames over articles it published about her voluntary work in Rwanda.

The senator was in court yesterday to hear the apology read on behalf of Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Mail, in relation to articles on April 20 and 21, 2012, which “gave a wholly inaccurate impression” that she had benefited from public or charity funds.

Outside court, the senator said her work in Rwanda was one of the best things she did in her life.
