Australian political advisor Grahame Morris has made a public apology after his ill-advised anti-Irish rant last week. He has now re-appeared on television to make the apology.

sorry

Speaking to Sky News Australia, Morris said “I got myself into a hell of a pickle on this. To all those with Irish backgrounds, which includes me, incidentally, I’m actually very sorry.

“What I said was tasteless and I copped the whack I probably deserved.”

Sky News had been inundated with emails complaining about Morris’ rant from last week.

Morris has previous and had been forced to apologise in another incident after calling a radio host ‘a cow’. Lovely fellah it seems.
