Former FF TD claims summons for €1,000 debt was sent to wrong address

Former Fianna Fáil TD Noel O’Flynn did not get a summons to appear in court for a civil hearing over payment of a €1,000 bill for election flyers because it was served on the wrong address and he was on holiday in Mexico, it was claimed yesterday.

Mr O’Flynn expressed “shock, surprise, and disbelief” to find out through the media about a court judgment against him for the payment of the debt.

Yesterday, he got that judgment set aside in Cork District Court, and there will be a full hearing of the civil case early in the new year.
