Independent Ireland TD Ken O’Flynn has distanced himself from legal proceedings aimed at halting a gig by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan in Dublin.

The rap duo hit headlines earlier this year following their Glastonbury performance, where they chanted “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”. They are due to perform in Vicar Street in Dublin on November 26.
