PARTING SHOT

To paraphrase Dana, Midlands-Nort-West is the “all kinds of everything” constituency in the European elections.

It’s seeing 27 candidates fight for five seats across 14 counties, running coast to coast from Galway to Louth and north towards Donegal.

In the latest episode of The Candidate podcast, Political Editor Christina Finn examines how this election could unfold in Midlands-North-West with Johnny Fallon, strategy director with Carr Communications, and responsible for the Dana reference above; Stella Meehan, editor of Agriland.ie; Jane Matthews, Political Reporter with The Journal, and Muiris O’Cearbhaill, reporter with The Journal.
