Ministers up ante on Flynn over allowance

MINISTERS last night ratcheted-up pressure on Fianna Fáil TD Beverly Flynn to surrender a €41,000 allowance intended for independent deputies.

Community and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Eamon Ó Cuív and his cabinet colleague John Gormley launched strong attacks on the Mayo TD.

“I think she’s foolish. It’s unwise for her to claim that money,” Mr Ó Cuív told Today FM.
