A Labour local election candidate in Dublin has apologised for believing that the rate of immigration into Ireland is too high.
Carol Reynolds had told community activist Gavin Pepper, who is running as an independent local election candidate, that there were too many immigrants coming into Ireland and that it was wrong to label people who raise concerns about immigration "racist".
However, on Sunday, Reynolds issued a statement that she had made the comments in error and wished to express her regret for stating them.
Speaking to The Journal today, Labour leader Ivana Bacik said the party has launched an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the comments which she said do not align with Labour values.
“We take this very seriously, there’s no doubt about that.”

Ross Lake Fire Reaction
Galway Bay FM
Fianna Fáil councillors Noel Thomas and Séamus Walsh speaking to Galway Bay FM this morning about the Ross Lake House fire on Saturday.
Séamus Walsh, who described himself as a disgruntled member of Fianna Fáil, said he might be put out of the party soon.
"We're getting phone calls last night from senior politicians asking us to come out against it and come out against our own people to keep well in with the party. Not happening!"
He also took issue with Green Party policies which have prevented work going ahead in the area.
"Every single thing we tried to do with Galway County Council over the last four years, Green party policies prevented it, and all the time in the council we're putting up with this crap, and now a Green minister comes along, and because he's feeling a bit of pressure from international forces and he wants to be jildy with them, he goes and shoves them [asylum seekers] in on top of us. No way, not happening!"

A redditor says social welfare staff are unofficially instructed to provide real PPS numbers to illegals when caught out under the 'Coming Clean Policy'.
>The document states where a person who entered the country illegally, and unlawfully obtained a PPSN and/or induced social welfare payments under a false identity, DSP will "regularise" the individual and grant them a new PPSN under their real identity - as they are "coming clean".
>You then had people whose whole story was a lie and they took, took, took from this State and left with an Irish passport in their pocket when we did catch them. Plus the vast majority have already lived, worked and had permission in another EU State or the UK.
This would explain why there are reports that Judge Desmond Zaidan is constantly annoyed by the number of illegals before him charged with possession of fake documents whom he learns in the meantime had been subsequently provided real work permits.

"The carry on of people around this country who are buying these buildings and warehousing people into them... The people below in Tralee and above in Leixlip and even in Shanballymore can go around playing the big hard men, talking about the big bucks they're making. But they'd want to realise the damage they're doing to these towns. They're worse than the English landlords of decades ago. Their behaviour is as bad as any drug cartel.
"We've seen the carry on of some of these people here over the last few months across the country, but particularly here in Fermoy. Shame on them. Yes, Government has a lot to answer for, but these people are the biggest traitors out of everyone the way they're selling out communities, and it's easy for them to sit away wherever they are and not give a shite about the people of Fermoy."
-Cllr William O'Leary (FF).
The full debate on immigration in Fermoy last night is on youtube.
