    Speculation about Labour Euro Candidates

    If you believe the Sunday Business Post it will be

    Dublin - Ruairi Quinn
    South - Kathleen Lynch
    East - Liz McManus

    Could we be looking at three seats ?

    Why don't you just run DIck Spring and be done with it?

    Lets hope so - given his remarks in 2002 that only a few thousand immigrants would reach our shores each year as a result of the Nice Teaty I hope someone has the moral courage to hold him to account on that one.

    Mind you RQ is not much better either.

    See here for the BS he has come out with:

    BTW does anyone ever recall hearing St Patrick was an Irishman?

    Looks like Quinn is creating his own historical myth here!

    Nominating Senators would make more sense, if they win great, if not good for next GE profile....also avoids having by-election

    South Alan Kelly

    I don't think DeRossa will stand down and I don't think Quinn would get the nomination over him.
    McManus may certainly run in the Leinster constituency and would be in with a great chance to win.
    News to me about Lynch running, but it certainly is possible, However that seat isn't safe and we may not have anyone else able to keep it in the next GE. Ether way she is a good candidate and could possibly take Sinnott's seat

    well I do hope that the Sunday Business Post article is off the mark, as i was expecting more from the Labour Party around the Euro electios next year, i was hoping that they were not going to use it as a retirement home for politicans, it is now time to send people to Europe who want to represent us out there and not as a retirement home or to build up a profile for a future dail run
