Brazen Bev tells of her ‘hurt’ but no apologies

OUR selfish little nation was stopped in its greedy tracks last night by the anguished tears of a wronged woman — Beverley Flynn.

As Taoiseach Brian Cowen ripped the €41,000-a year allowance intended for independent TDs from the Fianna Fáil deputy’s sweaty palms, she spoke openly of her “hurt”.

With her words of sorrow echoing across the nation, the 10,000 people thrown onto the dole this month collectively hung their heads in shame at their own self obsession in the face of the real hardship endured by Ms Flynn.
