An Irish radio host has apologised after he tweeted that the Committee of Public Accounts were hosting a “nonsensical Nuremberg trial”. In his now-deleted tweet, he encouraged listeners to tune into his radio show as a “distraction”.

“I want to apologise unreservedly to the Oireachtas [Irish Parliament] Committee for my ill judged comment regarding this week’s hearings,” he said in a tweet earlier today. “There was no intention to trivialise the proceedings”.
