De Burca admits regaining Green EU seat will be ‘tough’ task

SENATOR Deirdre de Burca admitted it will be a “tough contest” to win back the European Parliament seat the Green party lost in Dublin in 2004.

Ms de Burca was yesterday unveiled as the Green’s candidate for the Dublin constituency in next year’s European elections — after being the only person to seek the nomination.

When nominations closed at noon yesterday, the former Wicklow councillor was the only person to have put her name forward.
