after months of preparation, our support yacht has had to pull out at the last minute due to a damaged spreader. Any chance of a shout out for the sake of 12 brave souls whose months of hard training are about to come to naught? Wouldn’t ask if we weren’t desperate.
Padraig Flynn’s record of achievements for Mayo will never be equalled by any politician argues Castlebar Fianna Fáil councillor, Blackie Gavin.
In what will be interpreted as a shot across the bows of An Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Cllr Gavin made the statement at a recent meeting of the Castlebar Fianna Fáil Cumann in the Welcome Inn Hotel. There it was unanimously agreed that a vote of thanks and appreciated be extended to former EU commissioner Mr Flynn for his work on behalf of Castlebar and Mayo during his years as a TD and minister.
…When asked by The Mayo News last night about the Mahon Tribunal findings that Mr Flynn had corruptly sought and received a payment of £50,000 from developer Tom Gilmartin in 1989, Cllr Gavin remained tight-lipped and said it was a ‘private matter’.
