FF faces losing Euro seat in Dublin

FIANNA Fáil is at real risk of losing its European Parliament seat in Dublin in what would be a devastating personal blow to Taoiseach Brian Cowen.

With the party set for heavy losses in the local elections, Mr Cowen needs to retain all of FF’s four seats in Europe to fend off questions about his leadership.

But a new poll shows FF MEP Eoin Ryan in serious danger of losing his seat in Dublin, having slipped two points to just 9% since the last poll two weeks ago.
