Flynn brought back into Fianna Fáil fold
Beverly Flynn was tonight readmitted into Fianna Fáil, four years after her expulsion when she lost a libel action over claims that she helped bank customers to evade tax.
It is understood that the Mayo TD was brought back into the fold by a unanimous decision of the party’s National Executive on the recommendation of outgoing Taoiseach Bertie Ahern.
Fianna Fáil delegates from all over the country were meeting in Dublin tonight to finalise arrangements for the election of a successor to Mr Ahern.
Ms Flynn – daughter of former Fianna Fáil politician Padraig Flynn – finalised a settlement with RTÉ last year after failing in her libel case against the State broadcaster.
