TD gives up cannabis ‘to protect family’

NEWLY elected TD Luke “Ming” Flanagan has announced he is to give up cannabis in order to protect his wife and children.

The colourful Roscommon-South Leitrim TD has come under considerable pressure since a Fianna Fáil Councillor lodged an official complaint with gardaí regarding his habit.

Mr Flanagan said he was not willing to put his family in a position whereby they would be adversely affected by his behaviour.
