The Manager of Roscommon County Council has issued a statement – rejecting outright claims made by Luke Ming Flanagan over penalty points being struck off.
Deputy Flanagan admitted in the Dáil yesterday that he twice had penalty points struck off, after he was caught using his mobile while driving – once by a senior Garda and once by a senior Council official.
County Manager Frank Dawson says he assumes he is the official Deputy Flanagan is referring to, and he’s pledged to take the matter to the Assistant Garda Commissioner in an attempt to protect his good name and reputation.
Meanwhile,
Deputy Flanagan doesn’t believe his quashing of penalty points is a resigning matter but he says he knows he has let down his constituents as he ran for election on an anti-corruption ticket.
