There is an independent seat there already,” she replies to my question, in a reference to outgoing Dublin Independent MEP Nessa Childers. And it is for these aforementioned reasons that voters know Clare Daly. Brexit, EU military and immigrants are issues not on the radar for voters here, despite being hot topics in the EU elections.

I raise the question of which group or political alliance Daly will join in the EU parliament if she is indeed elected.
