Longford Senator withdraws comments about Robbie Keane

The statement gained significant attention in a variety of media outlets.

Longford Senator Micheal Carrigy has apologised for comments he made about former Ireland soccer player Robbie Keane earlier this month.

The north Longford man issued a press release last week about the player and his role with the FAI.

This Fine Gael representative has this morning issued a statement clarifying that the information contained in this release was "inaccurate and false in a number of respects and was unfair."
