Brexit crisis could scupper 2 extra MEP seats for Ireland – Ni Riada

The stalemate over the Brexit deal could scupper the planned addition of two extra MEP seats for Ireland.

The European Parliament constituencies of Dublin and Ireland South are set to gain a seat each for next May’s European elections.

The extra seats are part of a reallocation of British MEP seats following the UK’s planned withdrawal from the EU next March.

However, Theresa May’s failure to pass her Brexit deal through the House of Commons could put those plans in doubt if Britain is given more time to reach an agreement.

The Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada explains.
