Summary

I understand that Senator Aodhán Ó Ríordáin wishes to retract something he said earlier.
Comment on this
Having taken on board the comments of Senator Reilly and the Cathaoirleach, I accept that it is not appropriate for a Member of this House to make the comments that I made in terms of labelling someone as a sex offender without due process. I want to withdraw my remarks and apologise for them.
