Renewed calls for MEP Brian Crowley to resign or clarify position

There have been renewed calls for Ireland South MEP Brian Crowley to resign or clarify his position after not voting once in the European Parliament since his re-election four years ago.

His representative told the Irish Examiner that Mr Crowley, absent from the parliament due to illness, would hold a press conference and “deal with all issues” when discharged from care.

The build-up to the next European elections, in May next year, is already underway with speculation around who might run.
