Who was first
Was Bairbre de Brún or Mary Lou McDonald the first elected MEP? Each page is claiming they were - is there any way of determining which takes precedent in any seniority rankings? Timrollpickering 23:19, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Mary Lou McDonald was, by one day. Bairbre de Brun is more "senior" in the party, I'd guess. Kiand 19:59, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thomas Murphy
Could someone explain why we need the term "convicted criminal" in the sentence "McDonald initially backed convicted criminal Thomas "Slab" Murphy as a "good republican" despite being found guilty on nine charges of tax evasion", since it already says he was found guilty of tax evasion. It is pointless duplcation.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 13:01, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe because he is a convicted criminal... IrishSpook (talk) 13:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- That does not explain why it needs to be said twice in the same sentence.DanceHallCrasher (talk) 13:04, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- It's not. IrishSpook (talk) 13:04, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- The sentence refers to him being convicted of tax evadion, since when is that not a criminal conviction? Mo ainm~Talk 13:07, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
