I wish to put on the record of the House my apology to the family of the late Brian Stack. On Sunday, 18 March I retweeted what I thought to be a genuine tweet without having read the full content of that tweet. A number of follow-up tweets from me were wholly inappropriate and I deeply regret that. I want again to apologise for any and all offence and hurt that was caused by my Twitter activity. It was never my intention to cause any more hurt to those already in deep distress. I want to put on the record my most sincere apologies to the family of the late Brian Stack.

A Chathaoirligh and the House, I appreciate the time afforded to me for this apology. Go raibh maith agat.
