Terence Flanagan (born 1 January 1975) is an Irish Fine Gael politician.[1] He has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Dublin North–East constituency since May 2007. He was elected at the 2007 general election. He was previously a member of Dublin City Council for the Artane area.[2]
In February 2008, Flanagan made a speech which was notably similar to a previous one by Labour Party TD, Joan Burton. He initially denied that the speech was copied, and later issued a statement admitting, and apologising for, the plagiarism.[3] He was Fine Gael Deputy spokesperson for the Environment with special responsibility for Housing from October 2007 to March 2011.
In June 2010, Flanagan said the Financial Regulator “must act tough” and “thoroughly examine” proposals by Irish Nationwide and Bank of Ireland to offer negative equity mortgages to an expected 350,000 homeowners.[4]
