Taoiseach hits back at RTE star Tommy Tiernan over criticism of Ireland's foreign aid budget

Micheál Martin has slapped down Tommy Tiernan over comments the comedian made about not enough money going into Irish foreign aid.

The Navan funnyman took on the government in the Tommy, Hector and Laurita podcast where he said our politicians should be sanctioning giving more to poorer countries.

He said the government was giving “not enough money and they know it.”
