Beverley Flynn (born 9 June 1966) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician representing the constituency of Mayo. She is the daughter of former Fianna Fáil politician, Pádraig Flynn, who once famously described her as a "class act". She first stood unsuccessfully for election as the Fianna Fáil candidate in the Mayo West June 1994 by-election. The by-election was caused by the appointment of her father Pádraig Flynn as European Commissioner, and was won by Michael Ring of Fine Gael. She was first elected to Dáil Éireann in the 1997 general election, as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo constituency. She resigned from the party in 1999, and was expelled in April 2001, after it emerged that she had encouraged tax evasion while an employee of National Irish Bank. She was allowed to rejoin Fianna Fáil again before the 2002 general election, but was again expelled after losing a libel action on the matter in 2004. A cumann of the Fianna Fáil party that had continued to support Flynn was disbanded by the party headquarters, a first for Fianna Fáil. In 2003, given that her marriage to John Cooper had ended sometime previously, he requested that the media refer to her as Beverley Flynn. She successfully contested the 2007 general election as an independent where she was elected on the eighth count. (via Wikipedia)
