Liadh Ní Riada calls for fairer distribution of Europe money

EU candidate Liadh Ní Riada has suggested richer member states should put cash into a bailout fund in order to help countries in financial difficulty.

The Sinn Féin south candidate also claimed that Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney’s policies were a “disaster” and fishermen had been left with raw deal from Europe.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the former RTÉ producer admitted that she was “not a polished politician”, but said she hoped to win the support of the constituency’s voters for an MEP seat in May’s EU elections.
