Statement by Pat the Cope Gallagher MEP on the appointment of
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn as European Commissioner



Pat the Cope Gallagher MEP, the leader of the Fianna Fail group of the European Parliament, today said that the appointment by the Irish Government of Máire Geoghegan-Quinn as our next European Commissioner is very inspiring political choice.

“Màire is very pro-European in her political outlook and that she will bring her vast array of political experience to the prestigious job as a member of the European Commission. I am very confident that Màire Geogheghan-Quinn will come through the European Parliament hearing to ratify her political appointment, an institution that I know that she fully respects and admires.”
