Donegal native Fionnuala Croker is heading an EU campaign to get Irish people voting in the European elections.
The Annagry woman head of office (acting) at the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland.
She is pictured during the ‘Use Your Vote’ roadshow which travelled around the country to drive voter turnout in the European elections on 7th June.
The nationwide campaign brought a roadshow to each of Ireland’s three European Parliament constituencies, including the Donegal constituency of Midlands-North-West.
Speaking at the launch Croker said “The centre piece of our campaign is our four-minute ‘Use Your Vote’ film, which features people in Europe who have witnessed first-hand the transformative power of democracy in their lives.
“These exceptional individuals wanted to pass on their personal stories to their grandchildren and the next generation of Europeans more widely.
“Their testimonies paint a story of how voting is not something we should take for granted. The more people who vote, the stronger is our democracy. For this reason, we hope to achieve as high a turnout as possible on 7th June.”
