A spokesperson for the Catherine Connolly campaign has rejected as inaccurate and misleading an RTÉ report published today regarding a campaign video.
“At no point was there any refusal or disagreement of the kind suggested in the report,” the spokesperson said.
“The video in question was amended following standard editorial review. The matter was handled in the normal way and resolved without any issue.
“The implication that there was any controversy or refusal simply does not reflect the facts. It distracts from the real issues in this campaign - fairness, community, and integrity in public life.”
The spokesperson added:
“Catherine Connolly’s campaign has always conducted itself with transparency and respect. We would encourage all media outlets to correct the record and to focus on the values and vision at the heart of this campaign.”
