Irish Politicians Who Claimed They Were Hacked

We've all been there: engrossed in something racy on social media or even the Oireachtas website while we were meant to be tackling constituency work, so lost in doom scrolling that we accidentally "like" something we didn't intend to.

Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan, the Midlands Northwest MEP did have his Twitter account hacked. Diarmuid Hayes, 34, from Dublin, was convicted in a Belgian court of posting a Tweet from Ming Flanagan's account that referred to former Irish Green Party candidate Saoirse McHugh and "skinny dipping".
