Hogan’s reappointment to Europe may be in jeopardy

Phil Hogan’s reappointment to Europe may now be under threat after the nominee for president of the EU Commission has demanded a 50:50 gender split.

Outgoing Agriculture Commissioner Mr Hogan, who was re-nominated this week by the Taoiseach, has said he does not want to jump through gender-based hoops to be reappointed.
