Cardiff’s fate in the hands of parliament

THE nomination of Kevin Cardiff to the European Court of Auditors looks certain to be decided by a full sitting of the European Parliament in three weeks’ time.

Supporters of Ireland’s nominee to the Court were still debating what the best course of action is following his rejection by members of the Budgetary Control Committee.

But the whole process could mean that it will be January at least before Kevin Cardiff knows whether the Parliament will agree to his nomination.
