I only realised a few weeks ago that we, in Laois/Offaly, had moved constituency, and I needed to find someone else to vote for. So, last week, I headed off to an IFA-organised meeting of European Parliament candidates in Kilkenny, which attracted a decent crowd of around 200. Aged 45, he is the head of communications with the Higher Education Authority and a member of Wexford County Council. The highest profile Independent candidate is Mick Wallace, somewhat of a surprise participant given his well-publicised anti-EU views. In what was a generally tame event, young, bright-haired, Solidarity-PBP candidate Adrienne Wallace stood out.
