Smart Alec: Taoiseach forced to apologise over distasteful “sinning priest” comments




The Taoiseach has been accused of being an utter disgrace today after he was forced to apologise for comparing the Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin to that of a “sinning priest”.

According to RTE, Varadkar
He said: “I offended people who I never intended to offend. I want to apologise for that and withdraw it.

“I have tremendous respect for priests, for the sacrifice that they give in the lives that they lead.

“And I have tremendous respect for people of faith. You know it didn’t come out the way I intended it and sometimes these things happen.”

The Taoiseach’s comments have been met with utter contempt and have been likening to that of a thug and a ‘Smart Alec’.
