European Elections: Clare Daly is taking her fight to the top — to Europe

Clare Daly believes that the EU is a neo-liberal body protecting big business — her bid for Europe intends to change all that. Juno McEnroe follows her on the campaign trail in Inchicore.

Breaking the mould in Dáil Éireann, activist and outspoken TD Clare Daly has waged political battles on a range of issues including garda corruption, threats to Irish neutrality, and abortion laws.

It is a dark, rainy May morning. Daly is in Inchicore, Dublin, with a small team of canvassers asking workers, shoppers and generally those on the street for votes for the European elections so she can — in her own words — take her fight further to the top, to the EU.
