Phil Flanagan (born 16 July 1984) is a Sinn Féin politician in Northern Ireland who was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly in May 2011. Flanagan serves as an Member of the Legislative Assembly (Northern Ireland) for Fermanagh and South Tyrone (Assembly constituency) and is the Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Enterprise, Trade and Investment.
Flanagan has also served as a councillor on Fermanagh District Council since his co-option in 2009[3] and after being re-elected in May 2011. He resigned from his council seat in August 2011 in line with Sinn Féin party policy on dual mandates. He was subsequently replaced on by Stephen Hugget.[4]
Flanagan is from Garrison, County Fermanagh and was educated at St Michael's College, Enniskillen. He is a former retail manager and small-business owner.[5]
In references to the Seán Quinn case, Flanagan stated that, "It is not up to the media, to politicians or to anyone else to determine the outcome of this case. That decision needs to be made by a judge and the sooner that happens and a clear outcome is decided, the better it will be for all concerned."[6]
