James Reynolds has confirmed he will contest the European elections in the Midlands North West constituency.
He is currently the leader of the National Party, and will contest the elections alongside fellow party member, Patrick Quinlan, who is running in Dublin.
Rural issues will be to the fore of Mr Reynolds’ campaign, as he is a full-time suckler and sheep farmer and long-standing campaigner in farming politics.
He was also appointed honorary secretary of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association in 2014 and then served as national treasurer of the ICSA from 2016 to 2017, before co-founding the National Party.
