INDEPENDENT TD for County Clare Michael McNamara has announced that he will be contesting the upcoming European elections in June.

The farmer and barrister confirmed that he will be running as an Independent candidate.

“When the Irish people voted for greater integration of the European Union, they voted to opt out of justice/immigration measures for reasons as valid now as then.

“This government is intent on ceding these key areas of national sovereignty to Brussels. That’s why, more than ever, we will need representation in Europe asking the difficult questions,” he added, announcing his candidacy.
