Independent MEP Luke 'Ming' Flanagan has claimed his Twitter account was hacked after it posted a late night comment about naked photographs of former Green Party candidate Saoirse McHugh. The comment may be a reference to photos of Ms McHugh swimming which previously appeared in the Guardian newspaper. This afternoon, Mr Flanagan posted a comment suggesting his account had been hacked. Ms McHugh told Independent.ie Mr Flanagan contacted her today to tell her about the situation. Mr Flanagan is a close political ally of Ms McHugh and campaigned for her in the general election.
