RTE star Emer O'Neill has called on Tommy Tiernan to make a statement to Ireland in the aftermath of his controversial Dublin Zoo joke.
Emer walked out of one of Tommy's stand up shows after he made a joke about Dublin Zoo and taxi drivers. Ms O'Neill received an apology from the comedian via email and over the phone after she went public with her concerns.
Emer said she was "thankful" for the personal apology which she called "powerful". However, she told Today with Claire Byrne that it would be "amazing" if Tommy told his followers, fans, and the rest of Ireland what he had learned from the experience.
