Charlotte Fallon says the passion for her work led her to ask Simon Harris the question, which has now been viewed millions of times.

A Cork disability worker says the Taoiseach has suggested he will visit her workplace. 

It’s after their encounter in Kanturk went viral.

Charlotte Fallon who works at St Joseph’s Foundation confronted Simon Harris about funding for the disability and care sector.

The Fine Gael leader walked away but later apologised and subsequently spoke to Ms Fallon on the phone. 

Cork Today with Patricia Messinger spoke to Charlotte: 

The Taoiseach has since apologised to Charlotte. 

Simon Harris says he's "sorry" and "annoyed at himself" for walking away from a woman, while she was trying to raise concerns about disability services.
