'I have kept apologising and I will keep apologising' - Clifford-Lee meets with Traveller group

Fianna Fáil senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee has apologised again for comments she made about Travellers on social media eight years ago.

The comments on Twitter were “totally wrong and inappropriate”, but were made before she entered electoral politics. Her “true” attitude towards Travellers has been reflected in recent years through her support of Travellers in Cabragh Bridge, Tipperary, the Traveller Education and History Bill and the ethnic status of Travellers, she told RTÉ Radio’s Morning Ireland.
