Clare Daly and Mick Wallace have been TDs for respectively, Dublin North and Wexford from 2011 to 2019, when they were elected as MEPs for Dublin and South.
Since 2011, they have worked on many campaigns including opposition to austerity, protesting US military aircraft stopping at Shannon Airport, highlighting policing issues and shining light on practices employed by NAMA’s in selling off its property portfolio. Watch as Daly and Wallace talk with Vincent Browne, probably Ireland’s best-known journalist, about their experiences in the European Parliament in this First Thought Talk entitled From Ireland to Europe: What Challenges for Two Left Wing MEPs?.
