Ming Flanagan comments despicable- O’Mahony

Fine Gael Senator John O’Mahony has branded comments made by MEP Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan during a debate on Today with Seán O’Rourke as despicable.

Senator O’Mahony said: “I think it has been widely acknowledged both nationally and internationally that Enda Kenny came in to manage the country at the most difficult time ever and he has done a wonderful job in doing that.

“Ming spoke about how he supported Brexit at the time and now he just blames somebody else when asked about it. He hasn’t even made any efforts to meet or engage with the European Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier.

“Enda Kenny was someone who provided solutions even though they were difficult. And this is being acknowledged in no small part today, as he is being awarded the title of European of the Year.

“Ming Flanagan on the other hand only provides populist solutions, firing stones from the side lines.”
