Brendan Ogle is a trade unionist and a first time EU candidate. He is a senior Unite the Union officer. He is the former secretary of the ESB group of unions.

Workers Rights widely available across Europe need to be extended to Ireland. In addition public services available across much of Europe like public housing, healthcare, affordable childcare and other public services need to be learned about and brought to Dublin

Either 'The Left in the European Parliament' or 'The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats' (S&D).

Only a strong, determined and vigorous Independent will have the freedom to loudly and proudly air the issues of Dublin in the European Parliament like never before. I will also bring the best of Europe back to Dublin to learn how many of the issues he have here are addressed across Europe. Dublin, and it's problems are not currently spoken about with vigour in the Parliament and Europe is misrepresented as a problem, rather than as a source of potential solutions, on some of the key issues impacting the people of Dublin.

I am campaigning to 'Put Dublin at the Heart of Europe - Bringing the Best of Europe do Dublin'.
