The Taoiseach said he is “disappointed” by rape comments made by Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary, and said that men in general need to “cop on” in terms of their language.

However, Micheál Martin refused to say whether Mr O’Leary should apologise for the remarks, despite being accused of trivialising rape by victims’ groups.
