An Ulster Unionist MLA has apologized for comments she made comparing refugees to dogs.
Jenny Palmer likened the two on a comment on Facebook.
It was in response to a comment expressing surprise she had not brought a "refugee" home from a Somme commemoration event in France.
She replied saying she had two dogs and didn't need anymore.
When challenged later on by another Facebook user, the MLA explained that her intention had been misunderstood.
