Cork TD Michael Collins apologises for calling Shane Ross a 'scumbag'

Independent TD for Cork South West, Michael Collins, has apologised for calling Shane Ross "a scumbag", saying "I probably was tired" when he made the comment.
The 51-year-old, re-elected to Dáil Éireann on the first count as he topped the poll in last weekend's election, said the language used was "over the top".
