The European Parliament will today vote on whether Ursula Von Der Leyen will serve a second term as president of the European Commission.  

Despite being part of a coalition of parties that is supporting Ms Von Der Leyen, none of Fianna Fáil’s four MEPs will vote for her re-election, a move that has been criticised by Fine Gael. Barry Andrews Fianna Fail MEP for Dublin explained this decision to Ciara this morning.
