In one of the posts, which were first reported on by the Irish Independent, the senator says: “Cheryl has a new hair colour and has gotten rid of the pikey extensions at long last. Yawn. Why do people find this woman interesting?!”A number of tweets from 2011 and 2012 that had been on Clifford-Lee’s Twitter page have been removed since the first derogatory tweets were reported on.
In an exclusive interview with the Irish Examiner that was published at 6.40pm, Clifford-Lee said that she would like to apologise “face-to-face” to the Travelling community.Related Read 11.11.19 Fianna Fáil senator apologises for derogatory tweets that she says were 'taken out of context'
