'Ming the Merciless' eyes Roscommon Mayor position

An independent Councillor - who sent cannabis cigarettes to all Oireachtas members to try to get the drug legalised - is about to become Mayor of Co Roscommon.

In a new pact with Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and the Hospital Action Committee Councillors, Councillor Luke 'Ming the Merciless' Flanagan is expected to become Mayor later this afternoon.
