Mary Butler apologises for 'huge error of judgment'

Waterford Fianna Fáil TD Mary Butler has said she will be leaving her constituency office at Waterford City’s Waterside, which she rents from the cousin of a convicted paedophile.

Ms Butler also conceded that she made “a huge error of judgment” in allowing former junior minister Brendan Kenneally, who is the cousin of paedophile Bill Kenneally, to canvass on her behalf during the general election.
