EVERY FIVE YEARS citizens of the European Union get the opportunity to vote for who will represent them in the European Parliament.
Each Member State sets its own election day and Ireland will be going to the polls on Friday, 24 May. A decision was previously made to fill 27 of the UK’s 73 MEP places, and keep 46 vacant for possible future enlargement of the EU. This meant that Ireland got an additional two MEPs, bringing our total from 11 to 13.
