The Agriculture Minister has apologised for attending an event just 24 hours after new COVID-19 measures were introduced.

The Irish Examiner reports Dara Calleary, along with other TDs and Senators were among 80 guests at an Oireachtas Golf Society event last night.

In a statement, the Minister says he had committed to attending the function a number of weeks ago, and should not have attended in light of updated public health guidelines.

Minister Calleary will be on tomorrow’s Morning Edition with Michael D. McAndrew.
