Shane Ross has apologised for saying Sinn Féin's Imelda Munster was 'like a donkey' at the last fence stating that he was 'caught up in the heat of the debate'
TRANSPORT MINISTER SHANE has apologised this evening for saying Sinn Féin’s Imelda Munster was “like a donkey in the last race at the last fence” unlike her “thoroughbred” party colleagues Pearse Doherty and Aengus O Snodaigh.
During a debate on the green card for motorists issue in the Dáil today, Munster said other ministers had managed to resolve Brexit issues for their own department, but criticised Ross for not sorting out the issue of green cards, which drivers travelling to the North will be required to have post-Brexit.
