Fianna Fáil Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee
2011 Tweets from Fianna Fáil Seanad Spokesperson on Justice, Children and Youth Affairs Lorraine Clifford-Lee
This morning.
Asked by the Irish Independent for a comment on her controversial tweets, Fianna Fail Senator Lorraine Clifford-Lee said the tweets referred to are from as far back as 2011 and were posted long before she became involved in electoral politics.
“I want to be absolutely clear, the tweets were wrong and I apologise for any hurt or offence caused by them,” she said.
“While it does suit some people to take my tweets out of context for their own right wing agenda, I hope that the people of Dublin Fingal will not be distracted by personal smear campaigns such as this.
“Anyone who has worked with me since my election to the Seanad three years ago can confirm the role I played in promoting progressive policies.”
