Watch the full interview here: www.rte.ie/player Brendan O'Connor talks to Luke 'Ming' Flanagan and asks the question that is on everyones lips, why did he give up smoking cannabis?
I'm from south Dublin and think this guy is the best thing to happen to Irish politics in years, he us intelligent and a gentleman. Keep it goin Ming I'm proud to have you represent our people
You've come a long way since my days in Galway Luke. Your opinions have matured and developed and your responses are bang on the money. Congratulations on your recent election by the way, well done!
he's one of the good guys. It's a pity that the state has put him this position. With more people in politics like ming there's a light at the end of the prohibition tunnel
''just because its illegal doesnt mean its wrong''..sound words mick..cannabis should be legalised is a class c drug..it could bring in HUGE revenue from tax,and pay of the eu/imf,bring in huge tourism..
ming is giving up smoking in the "republic of ireland". ming is smart because he only has to drive north for 50 minutes and he will no longer be in the "republic of ireland". its win win!
@50dsof good because the law is wrong,cannabis is less harmful that booze and cigs.and not to mention the chemicals added to drinks and junk food.slainte
From my initial skepticism regarding this man, every time I have heard him open his mouth my respect for him grows.
Ming for president!

Luke Flanagan, the only honest TD in the Dáil.
great guy little what is known about him,he actually was one of the few politicians to take a pay cut..
Luke is a smart and well mannered man
just because his appearance and idea's are unconventional the media portrays him as a fool
Biggest legend going xD
I wouldnt be for cannabis being legal but much respect for Ming and his opinions.

@bricky06 : Why? Is it because of his appearance? Do explain.
America and Canada are coming pretty close to it.
GO ON THE MING!
Ya the man is a legend. Was delighted he got elected.
BRING ME FLASH GORDON. Ming for emperor
We could de-centralise the government, allow counties to pass their own laws and then legalize it in Roscommon.
Ming gives me hope for the ireland my children will grow up in...

Ming to ahead of his time.. Well for ireland anyway....
Only way it would be legalised is if england legalise it.. My opinion..
