Apology to Angela Kerins was in a personal capacity, says Ceann Comhairle

The Chairman of the Dáil, Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl, has said pending reforms as to who Committees operate would negate any need for sanctions for politicians who break the law.

Speaking today, the Ceann Comhairle said the apology he offered to former Rehab boss Angela Kerins was made in a personal capacity as he had no authority to make it on behalf of the Dáil.
