Meeting alerts →About Kathleen FUNCHION
Kathleen Funchion represents Ireland as a Member of the European Parliament for Sinn Féin, the Irish republican party that advocates for Irish reunification and left-wing policies. She sits with The Left in the European Parliament (GUE/NGL), a political group that promotes socialist and left-wing positions including workers' rights, social justice, and opposition to neoliberal economic policies. Prior to her European Parliament role, she served as a Teachta Dála (TD) in the Irish Parliament, representing the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency. Her political career reflects Sinn Féin's broader trajectory from its origins in Irish republicanism toward becoming a significant force in both Irish and Northern Irish politics with a strong left-wing social and economic agenda.

Methodology
Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
