Flynn delighted to be back in ‘natural home’

A GRATEFUL Beverly Flynn welcomed her return to her “natural home” in Fianna Fáil yesterday but admitted her political future rested with its new leader.

The decision to bring Ms Flynn in from the cold was defended by Taoiseach Ber-tie Ahern, but the Mayo TD faces a fight for a ministerial post under Brian Cowen.

As party colleagues prepared to crown Mr Cowen as party leader in a vote today, Ms Flynn denied there was friction between her and the Taoiseach-to-be.
