Broadcaster Niall Boylan has become the latest figure to announce their candidacy in June’s European Parliament elections, where he will seek one of the four Dublin seats being contested.

According to a notice on the website of the Dublin County Returning office, Mr Boylan will contest the election on behalf of the Independent Ireland party, founded by TDs Michael Fitzmaurice, Michael Collins and Richard O’Donoghue.

An official announcement is expected on Monday.

Mr Boylan, who is a critic of the Coalition’s immigration policy and most recently of the EU Migration Pact which the Government intends to opt in to, hosts a late night talkshow on Classic Hits FM.



Will be voting for this fella, love his radio show and now we can put him into Europe!

he was the only person in media to call out the misinformation of the YES side of the campaign and give a platform for the NO side in the failed referendum.
He would absolutely get my vote, Someone with a bit of common sense. I believe he’s capable of defining a woman.

A few TDs are part of this grouping,

Cork TD Michael Collins is the party’s leader, with Limerick TD Richard O’Donoghue the party’s general secretary. Independent Roscommon TD Michael Fitzmaurice has also joined the party.

Could be the start of some real force in Irish politics, something to balance out the heaviness of the left in Irish politics?


As for Niall being an MEP, would certainly be interesting as he has a great charisma about him.

Would he not be better battling it out for a dail seat ......who gives one fuck who gets elected as MEP to be totally ignored in Europe........I might be forced to spoil as no candidate in Midlands North West advocates leaving the EU .....at present I would vote number 1 for Waters and no other preferences

Kind of think being an MEP is just a ticket to the gravy train, fuck all power, influence but good pay and a pension.

He has a thin skin. I remember someone calling his show and saying he was a burns victim. Not nice but there was no need for Boylan's meltdown that followed.

He'll have to toughen up if he's going to enter politics.

No harm in getting the experience of running, creating a team together, his name out there and good basis for other roles
