Ireland South MEP Sean Kelly said he is continuing to fight for “an extra hour of daylight in the evening”, despite setbacks for EU proposals to scrap the bi-annual clock change.

Mr Kelly says that despite opposition, the seasonal clock change has “outlived its usefulness” and puts additional pressures on farmers and those with mental health difficulties.
