Catherine Noone remarks were 'offensive, ignorant and wrong', says Coveney

Fine Gael Senator Catherine Noone's description of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar as autistic was "offensive, ignorant and wrong," Tánaiste Simon Coveney has said.

"They caused offence to many people. She has apologised for those comments and I know she hopes that the families offended by them will accept that apology," he said.
