Broadcaster and former Fine Gael minister Ivan Yates has rubbished the idea that his comments about “smearing the bejaysus” out of presidential candidate Catherine Connolly had damaged Heather Humphreys’ campaign.
The remarks last week had been criticised by Ms Connolly in the aftermath, with Ms Humphreys also denying that Mr Yates had any involvement in her presidential campaign.
