Ireland is represented in the European Parliament by 14 members. They were elected in June 2024 to serve for a five-year mandate and represent one of three constituencies: Dublin, Ireland South or Midlands-North West.
Altogether, the European Parliament is made up of 720 members from 27 EU member states. MEPs sit in political groupings with like-minded allies. Fine Gael is part of the centre-right Group of the European People’s Party, Fianna Fáil is in the liberal Renew Europe, Labour members sit in the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats and Sinn Féin is part of the Left group. Ireland’s three independent MEPs have also chosen to join one of these political groups.
