<p>New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has apologised for a comment he made about public drunkenness at an American Irish Historical Society event.</p>
<p>Mr Bloomberg said he did not mean to offend anyone in his comments about the society&#8217;s Manhattan headquarters.</p>
<p>He said normally when he walks by the building &#8220;there are a bunch of people that are totally inebriated hanging out the window waving&#8221;.</p>
<p>Members of the Irish American community criticised the mayor.</p>
<p>He said he was talking about a party the society has yearly during the St Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade.</p>
<p>City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said the remarks were &#8220;surprising and inappropriate&#8221; given the mayor&#8217;s long history of support for the Irish community. She said she was pleased he apologised.</p>
