Fianna Fáil has added Senators Niall Blaney and Lisa Chambers to the party ticket to contest the European elections in Midlands-North-West.

They will join Laois-Offaly TD Barry Cowen who was selected at the party convention earlier this month.

The party's Director of Elections Darragh O’Brien TD said: "I congratulate both Niall and Lisa on their addition to the ticket.

"This is a very strong, ambitious ticket and represents the best of what Fianna Fáil offers, in the form of three highly committed, hard-working and able public representatives who are determined to fight for Ireland in Europe."

He said: "This is also a very geographically well-balanced ticket, with the candidates strategically spread across a vast geographic constituency. Niall, Lisa and Barry bring unique and complimentary strengths and abilities to our ticket.

"I know they will individually and collectively work hard to maximise our vote and ensure that we are successful in June."
