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. Funchion maintains an exceptional attendance record in the European Parliament, participating in 97.4% of plenary sessions compared to the average of around 82%, and has voted in 1,825 of 1,873 parliamentary votes, representing a 97% voting participation rate. 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.
