MEP Billy Kelleher has apologised for not self-isolating after returning from Brussels last week.
The Fianna Fail rep for Ireland South attended the election of Micheal Martin when he should have been isolating.
Mr Kelleher said in a statement today: "“Last Saturday, I attended the election of the new Taoiseach in Dublin having arrived into Ireland from Brussels the day before.
"As I previously stated, I avail of Covid 19 testing services before in advance of departing Brussels in order to reduce any potential public health risk.
"However, despite this, I accept that the risk could not have been eliminated fully and I should have followed HSE advice and remained at home. This was an error of judgement on my part and I apologise unreservedly."
