Do you trust RTÉ, Newstalk etc?

He is running for Europe based on domestic issues. He was being challenged on it. MEPs don't control Ireland's Garda budget.

When you have a small number of MEP’s coming from our Island vs other European countries, the government elected MEP’s are utterly worthless due to the position they take with Europe’s ruling government. What you need as the small fish is effective opposition and one thing for sure over the last 5 years Wallace, Daly, Flanagan and to a lesser extent MacManus have provided that. They have been effective in holding the European Parliament to account on multiple subjects. I’ll only be putting down a 1,2,3,4 on the ballot paper this time based upon how the opinion polls can make my vote go further. (Wallace, Gavan, Funchion & Penderville).
