Brian Stanley is guilty of 'colossal errors of judgement' but is still fit to chair the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee, his party colleague Eoin Ó Broin has said.

Mr Stanley has been under intense scrutiny since last week tweeting an equivalence of the Warrenpoint and Kilmichael ambushes. He deleted and apologised for this tweet.
