Default Taiwan honours Noel O'Flynn

From www.corkpolitics.ie

I couldn't believe this when I read it. Isn't he the guy who was giving out about all the foreigners taking our jobs, riding our wives, selling us drugs and getting buggies and pyjamas free from the HSE, or am I mixing him up with someone else ?

CORK TD Noel O’Flynn has been awarded the “Friendship Medal of Diplomacy”, the highest honour ever bestowed on a politician by the government of Taiwan (The Republic of China).

The medal was awarded by Mr Timothy Yang, the Taiwanese Foreign Minister, for Deputy O’Flynn’s contribution to the advancement of bilateral relations between Ireland and Taiwan, and for Deputy O’Flynn’s role in the promotion of the Visa-Waiver Scheme, which commenced on July 2nd of this year.
