Flynn confirms she will contest next election

Ms Flynn has been ordered to pay RTÉ’s legal bill of €1.6 million after her failed libel action against the national broadcaster.

That bill could rise to €2.5m if the High Court taxing master decides Ms Flynn should also pay the legal costs of retired farmer James Howard, which RTÉ had indemnified. The decision on these costs is due next month. RTÉ has insisted it will chase Ms Flynn for the full €1.6m that is owed to it.
