A Kerry County Councillor has called on the Taoiseach to apologise for atrocities that occurred in Kerry during the civil war.
Sinn Féin councillor for the Listowel Municipal District, Robert Beasley, says Leo Varadkar should issue an open apology for atrocities ahead of their 100th anniversary this year.
He says incidents carried out by the National Army of the Free State Government - at Ballyseedy, Countess Bridge and Bahaghs, Cahersiveen should be addressed.
