Independent MEP LUKE ‘Ming’ Flanagan has said his Twitter account was ‘compromised’ after a late-night comment about a photograph of former Green Party candidate Saoirse McHugh stripping naked.
Flanagan’s account tweeted at 2.50am Monday morning: “Sapirse [sic] mchugh photo skinny dipping ”.
The former TD has since claimed that his account was “compromised.” He has not given any further details.
The tweet was deleted, but several screenshots of the tweet and comment were shared online today.
TheJournal.ie found that Flanagan’s most recent tweets prior to this were sent using Twitter for Android or Twitter for iPad.
However, the tweet in question was sent through the TweetCaster platform on Android, an application that allows users to send tweets from multiple accounts and has not been used for any other recent tweets from Flanagan.

I just changed my password. I think my account was compromised. I am communicating with Twitter to establish what has happened. There are unpleasant people out there. Take care.
