Tommy Tiernan has broken his silence and publicly apologised to RTE star Emer O’Neill after he told a controversial joke about taxi drivers during one of his gigs.
Emer told us how she was left upset and walked out of Tiernan’s Vicar Street gig on January 6 after the Navan funnyman made a joke about Dublin Zoo and taxi drivers.
The RTE presenter told us how she had received an apology from Tiernan last week via email and on the phone – but now the comedian has made a public statement addressing the furore.
