Update: This story has appeared in the Irish Independent.
The atricle says that Mr Noonan yesterday said he was "exhausted and frustrated" when he made his Facebook comment on Monday night, expressing disappointment that the council had "caved in" on the one-way system.
"I just signed it off 'knobheads'," he said.
The Kilkenny mayor denied he was referring to objectors to the scheme or to his council counterparts when he wrote his post, which has since been taken down from the Facebook site.
"It was a derogatory, off-the-cuff comment," he insisted.
"I don't even know who I was referring to. I was probably referring to us as a collective."
He apologised "unreservedly" for any offence caused and admitted that the remark was "not respectful" to the office of mayor, but said that he had not had any complaints about the post.
How predictable that MN feels he now has to row back.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't, and shouldn't.
Get off your fat lazy arses you pathetic slobs.
Good grief, you could traverse the city, from Nowlan Park to The Village, in what ? Less than half an hour ?
As the Mayor of Kilkenny he is representing the city. People around the country are laughing at him and he is bringing down the office of mayor, and the city of Kilkenny, he should not be posting publicly using that language espec at 2am in the morning.
