RTÉ presenter Emer O'Neill has said that comedian and talk-show host Tommy Tiernan phoned her to apologise for a joke he made at a recent comedy gig she was ...

White people do not have lived experience of what it's like in day-to-day life and the discrimination we encounter in everyday life, walking down the street, into a room or applying for a job." but when it doesn't affect you, they just moved on to the next joke and forgot about it," she continued. The former Home School Hub presenter walked out of Tiernan's Tomfoolery show earlier this month after he made a joke that offended her during his stand-up set.
