Dudgeon bids to be Seanad’s ‘unionist voice’
Jeffrey Dudgeon, a one-time gay activist, communist and former worker for the ultra-conservative United Kingdom Unionist Party member Robert McCartney, has confirmed he is targeting a seat in the Oireachtas upper house.
If he succeeds, the 63-year-old will become the first openly-stated unionist to be a member of the Seanad since the first years of the state.
