Micheál Martin hits out at ‘eurosceptic’ Irish MEPsBy Gráinne Ní Aodha, PAThe Tánaiste has hit out at eurosceptic Irish MEPs and said it was time to “push back” against “destructive” anti-EU forces. Micheál Martin said Ireland had become known as a country that has benefited from European Union membership, but which also regularly elects politicians to the parliament who “undermine” the union. Ireland has 13 MEPs, with all five Fine Gael MEPs in the EPP group, two Fianna Fáil MEPs in the Renew group, two Green MEPs in the Green alliance group, and the four remaining MEPs in the Left group. They speak out consistently against the European Union. The vast majority of the Irish people believe the European Union is good for Ireland.
