Flanagan case - Look at the bigger picture

Deputy Luke “Ming” Flanagan has become hopelessly ensnared in his own hypocritical web of deception.

In December he and three Dáil colleagues held a news conference to highlight the need for an independent inquiry into allegations that thousands of road traffic offences had been quietly quashed.

Mr Flanagan had his own personal insight, because he had penalty points wiped out on two different occasions in 2011 for the improper use of a mobile while driving.
