Beverly Flynn to refute allegations in Dáil

BEVERLY FLYNN will refute allegations in Dáil Éireann this evening that she helped her father, former Fianna Fáil minister Pádraig Flynn, in evading tax and opening offshore accounts.

Yesterday, the Fianna Fáil TD said she looked forward to setting out the full situation and not the slant put on it by the media, while Mr Flynn condemned the leaking of confidential information and what he described as tribunal by media.

The Mayo TD denies the accusations of wrongdoing connected to her father’s infamous £50,000 cheque from property developer Tom Gilmartin. She said yesterday she will make a personal statement in Dáil Éireann today and contacted Government Chief Whip Mary Hanafin and Ceann Comhairle Rory O’Hanlon indicating her intentions.
