Independents 4 Change TDs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly on their way to the Disclosures Tribunal last summer
This morning.
Miriam Lord, in The Irish Times, reports that Independents 4 Change TD Mick Wallace and Clare Daly will contest the European elections in May – with Mick seeking a seat in Ireland South and Clare seeking a seat in Dublin.
Ms Lord reports:
“The pair will had in their nomination papers – Ms Daly in Dublin and Mr Wallace in Cork – before today’s midday deadline, ending months of speculation in Leinster House that they were going to enter the election race.
“…Mr Wallace promised: ‘We’ll work our nuts off if we get elected’.”

The Guardian reports that at a recent cocktail party, Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of France’s far-right Front National suggested:
..the deadly virus Ebola could solve the global “population explosion” and by extension Europe’s “immigration problem”
Adding
religion added an “aggravating factor” to this problem because many immigrants were Muslim and Islam had a “conquering vocation … and even more conquering when it feels strong and they feel numerous
Right wing so.

Junior finance minister Brian Hayes is going to run Fine Gael in the European elections in May.
The Irish Independent reports:
Fine Gael is only going to run one candidate after failing to identify a good-quality running mate for him. The OPW minister (44) told party members in his Dublin South-West constituency of his keenly anticipated decision at a meeting last night. He is expected to announce his decision this morning.
Mr Hayes is giving up the chance of getting a full cabinet portfolio when Taoiseach Enda Kenny re-jigs his ministers later in the year. Although Mr Hayes is far and away the best performer on the junior ministerial benches, there was no guarantee that he would have been promoted to Cabinet. “If the bossman (Mr Kenny) had wanted him for that, he would have made it clear to him,” a source said.
