Roscommon’s Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan has confirmed that he will be running for Europe in May’s elections. The Roscommon-based TD will run in the Midlands North-West constituency.
“I am doing so because I believe Ireland needs to elect people to the European Parliament that carry with them the message that we have gone too far with this European project. I also, if elected, plan to build on that potential voter base and to create a political environment whereby we could see another 10 independents elected from this region to Dáil Éireann in the spring of 2016,” he said.
