Flynn quits over money laundering probe

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern’s most trusted troubleshooter Phil Flynn last night sensationally resigned from all his public positions.

He admitted travelling to Bulgaria with the Cork businessman at the centre of the ongoing money laundering investigations.

In addition to resigning as head of the Government’s Decentralisation Implementation Group, Mr Flynn has also given up his ministerial appointment to the board of the VHI and resigned as chairman of the Bank of Scotland (Ireland).
