Abstract
Description
The European Council Decision (EU 2018/937) of 28 June 2018 provided, among other things, that when the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union becomes legally effective, 27 of the United Kingdom’s 73 seats would be re-distributed among 14 Member States, of which 2 would go to Ireland, increasing Ireland’s MEPs from 11 to 13 in number.
The European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Act 2019 provided that following the poll on 24 May 2019, 11 MEPs would take up their seats in the 2019-2024 European Parliament at the beginning of its term on 2 July 2019 and that the remaining two seats would be taken-up on the date on which the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union becomes legally effective. The Act provided that the two candidates taking up their seats at a later date would be the last candidate elected in the Dublin Constituency and the last candidate elected in the South Constituency. The two candidates concerned are Mr Barry Andrews (Dublin) and Ms Deirdre Clune (South).
