THE POLITICAL ICE bucket challenges aren’t showing any signs of stopping… We’ve had everyone from Martin McGuinness to Leo Varadkar take the plunge in the last seven days.
So it’s no wonder then that Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan decided to join in with the charity craze.
The recently installed MEP is no-stranger to water-based publicity stunts, of course. Who could forget the time he asked a Minister to drink a glass of dirty water which he described as “glorified piss”?
The outspoken former TD even re-used his ‘most unparliamentary language’ posting today’s video…
Watch…
Now is it just us, or did Ming enjoy that a little too much?
(Note: You’ll find more details about the Andrew Lydon Trust, set up to help extend the life expectancy of the Connemara man, who has motor neurone disease, here.)

He looked like a man who was long overdue for a wash.
just like every fully fledged hardcore stoner…he’s about a week late catching on to what’s been going on
Hi journal, any chance you could get people to stop hiding behind fake names on this site? This anonymity let’s them come out with ass comments like some of the ones above. P.s. fair play Ming.
@John. Using your ‘real’ name didn’t stop you making an arse comment.
It’s interesting that you believe it’s ‘hiding’. Personally I don’t want my professional and social opinions mixed or considered as the same thing.
People are complex. They contain conundrums. But as a race are also quick to judge others (as you did!). The reality is usually different than we believe.
Try not to be so angry John. Live and let live.
A nICE bucket of Glorified Piss Water.
First shower since his last shave methinks!
Pot smoking stoners dont usually wash!!
Are there non pot smoking stoners?
Yes pot eaters
Is that a pile of illegally cut turf he is standing in front of???
What a waste of water on a useless excuse of a politician.
Ming is a legend, he has the balls to challenge the status quo which is rotten to the core
Ps Burke maybe there are people out there that have more important roles in life and need to protect their identity!!
I’m BATMAN!!! And the joker (ming) is a looser!
Good man Luke manningan. Lol
have your say
