Labour Party selects Dominic Hannigan as MNW European Candidate - The Labour Party

The Labour Party has selected Dominic Hannigan to contest the Midlands North West constituency in this May’s European Parliament

Speaking after the convention Hannigan said:

“I am delighted to have been selected as the candidate for the Midlands North West constituency.

“My campaign to win a seat begins right now. I will be fighting to change the focus of Europe to a more social Union, where workers rights, social rights and human rights are at the core.

“As a former Chair of the European Union Affairs in the Oireachtas I am well aware of the challenges posed by Brexit and I will be pushing for Ireland’s interests to be protected in the Parliament. We need an MEP with links to the Socialists and Democrats in the Parliament – the second biggest group – and I have those links.

“The challenge is big but I believe I have the energy, knowledge and commitment to win this seat.”
