The former Taoiseach was recorded saying there were “too many” immigrants coming into the country.
An Offaly TD is joining his party in distancing himself from a former Taoiseach's remarks on immigation.
Bertie Ahern was recorded unknowingly while on the canvas trail in Dublin, saying he believed too many people were coming to Ireland, with particular concern about those arriving from Africa.
Fianna Fail rep for the county Tony McCormack says it's not a common concern he's heard from the public while on the canvas trail.
He says Mr Ahern's views are an outlier in the party:
