A Fianna Fáil MEP is calling on former taoiseach Bertie Ahern to issue an apology for comments he made about migrants and Muslims during a by-election canvass in Dublin last week.

The Irish Examiner reported on Wednesday that Mr Ahern was recorded without his knowledge while canvassing door-to-door in Dublin Central while being questioned about immigration.
