Ahern to seek removal of FF whip from Beverley Cooper-Flynn

The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has announced his intention to propose the removal of the Fianna Fáil whip from Beverley Cooper-Flynn at a meeting of the party’s TDs and Senators next Tuesday.

Mr Ahern said last night that the Fianna Fáil Ard Comhairle would also decide whether to expel the Mayo TD from the party when it meets on Friday or Saturday of next week.
