Clare Daly (born 16 April 1968) is an Irish politician who has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Ireland for the Dublin constituency since July 2019. She is a member of Independents 4 Change, part of The Left in the European Parliament – GUE/NGL.
In the 1980s Daly was a member of the Labour Party as a teenager but was later expelled alongside other members after being accused of being Trotskyists infiltrating the party using the tactic of entryism. She was subsequently a founding member of "Militant Labour", later known as the Socialist Party. In 1999 she was elected to Fingal County Council, a position she held for 12 years. Daly was elected as a Socialist Party TD for the Dublin North constituency at the 2011 general election.[1]
Since 2012, Daly has had a close political association with Mick Wallace.[2] After Wallace was condemned by the Socialist Party for tax evasion, Daly resigned from the party in August 2012[2][3] and redesignated herself as a United Left Alliance TD.[4] In 2015 she joined Independents 4 Change. Since becoming an MEP, Daly has gained international attention for her foreign policy positions, particularly on Russia and China. Her views have been the subject of controversy and criticism in Europe, but have been promoted by state-controlled media in Russia, China, Syria, and other authoritarian states.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
