Catherine Connolly has accused her only rival for the presidency of making a “scurrilous” accusation that she had “insulted” some of Ireland’s allies.
She faced Fine Gael candidate Heather Humphreys on RTE Radio 1’s Drivetime on Thursday evening, during which Ms Humphreys said people had a “clear choice” in the election: “Do you want a president that hasn’t fallen out with or insulted our allies?”
