EU Elections Constituency Profile - Dublin: Race to the right as migration dominates

With four seats in Dublin, some will look to attract votes with a hardline stance on asylum seeker policy

Voters going to polling stations will be confronted with an unwieldy ballot paper with 23 runners hoping to make it across the line on June 7.

A race for the right may be how the Dublin European elections go down, with seven candidates on the ballot paper who could be placed into this category.

With tented encampments springing up initially outside the International Protection offices on Mount St and now along the Grand Canal, migration is an issue all candidates will have to grapple with regardless of what way they lean.
