Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 22, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Luke Ming Flanagan! From shaking up Roscommon County Council to making waves as Teachta Dála for Roscommon–South Leitrim, you've always marched proudly—and humorously—to your own drum. Whether championing rural Ireland or boldly advocating cannabis reform with unmatched flair and wit, you’ve certainly kept politics interesting!

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer debates and more cake—though knowing you, you'll probably find a way to debate the icing-to-cake ratio too! Keep fighting the good fight; Irish politics wouldn't be half as entertaining without your fearless voice. Cheers to another year of memorable speeches and unforgettable moments!
