Micheál Martin has said he is “deeply disappointed” about events this week, dubbed #Golfgate, that have resulted in the resignation of his Agriculture Minister Dara Calleary, and significant pressure on other high-profile figures.

He also said he understood public anger that the event had gone ahead despite new Covid-19 regulations to control numbers at indoor and outdoor events.
