Flynn’s EU pension hangs on outcome of CAB probe

Pádraig Flynn could lose his €50,000 EU pension depending on the outcome of the Criminal Assets Bureau investigation, the European Commission has said.

Labour MEP Nessa Childers and members of the public have written to the Brussels asking that it cut the former Irish commissioner’s pension.

The man responsible for administration in the commission, Maros Sefcovic, said wrote to Ms Childers that the findings of the Mahon Tribunal were a “matter for serious concern”.
