Fine Gael has apologised after its video urging people to vote in last weekend’s elections used a song by children’s collective The Kabin Crew without credit.

The video, which has been since deleted, used the song The Spark with a caption that read: “We’ve got the new energy, and we’ll tell you all about it – Tomorrow vote Fine Gael in the Local, European and Limerick Mayoral elections”.
