MEP: Strip disgraced Flynn of his €50k EU pension

It comes as Micheál Martin refused to apologise for attacks on the Mahon Tribunal by members of the former government.

Mr Flynn, who denies the Mahon Tribunal’s finding that he sought and received a bribe, gets the money annually from the European Commission in addition to his annual Dáil pensions of about €87,000.

Nessa Childers MEP has written to the European Commission urging that it enforces its code of conduct to the full “and cut off the EU pension of former Irish commissioner Pádraig Flynn”.
