GAA pundit Joe Brolly has issued an apology after depicting an Aras hopeful performing a sex act while on a podcast.

Fine Gael presidential contender Heather Humphreys branded the tawdry clip to promote a podcast as "misogynistic".

The Derry AllIreland winner defended himself by insisting the item was not about Ms Humphreys or any other actual 'TARGET' Gavin candidate. However, he clarified he was talking about former Dublin GAA boss Jim Gavin when he made crude gestures simulating someone answering questions about uniting Ireland while giving oral sex.

The clip was filmed for the Free State podcast, featuring Brolly and sidekick Dion Fanning.

It sparked online fury with many claiming it related to the campaign of Ms Humphreys.

The podcast has previously featured an interview with rival Catherine Connolly.
