Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Tánaiste says Sabina Higgins's visit to Galway peace activist Margaretta D'Arcy at a Limerick jail was appropriate.
The wife of President Higgins went to see Margaretta D'Arcy who was jailed for refusing to sign a bond to stay away from unauthorised areas of Shannon airport.
The 79 year old, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, is serving a three month sentence for illegal incursion on the runway at Shannon Airport in October 2012.
Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore says he learned of the visit through the media.
