Cork's FF deputy mayor considers future in party after rainbow flag row

Fianna Fáil is facing another internal spat after Cork's deputy Lord Mayor stormed out of an internal party meeting last night after being asked to explain why he wants a colleague disciplined.

Cllr Kenneth O'Flynn, who wants fellow councillor Terry Shannon sanctioned by party headquarters for calling for the removal of the LGBT rainbow flag from above City Hall earlier this month, was invited to attend a meeting with fellow Fianna Fáil councillors before last night's city council meeting.
