Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Subsequent to that, I received a letter from Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, in case the Deputy believes I was meddling in some way. I was anxious to get to the bottom of the issue.

On 21 March, Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan wrote to me. He stated:

Dear Minister Shatter,

As you may have noticed from my contribution on the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions) Bill 2012, I made it clear that fixed-charge penalty points were removed from my licence. Please find below the names of those who contacted me.

He was blaming other people for this happening. He then named one individual but I am not going to name that person in the House.
