Labour’s Ryan to run in Euro elections

LABOUR Senator Brendan Ryan has announced that he will seek the party’s nomination to stand in next summer’s European elections.

Mr Ryan, who is Labour group leader in the Senate, said European politics had always fascinated him.

“In Europe the strongest political voices are usually from the left, and usually they are on the side of progress. It’s high time voices from Munster were heard amongst these voices of progress, Tthat’s where I hope to be,” Senator Ryan said.
