Micheál Martin described Barry Cowen's Dáil statement as an 'abject apology'

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has described Minister for Agriculture Barry Cowen's statement to the Dáil last night about his ban for drink driving as an "abject apology".

However, some Opposition politicians argue that the minister still has questions to answer about the incident in 2016. He said, what he termed his "grave error", should highlight the consequences of drink-driving and the criticism of him was "fully deserved".
