Re: Planning an Interview with Dick Roche (none / 1)

Fianna Fail has been a member of the much more marginal UEN group and is talking about joining the liberal ALDE group

It appears that that's a done deal:

Fianna Fáil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the European Parliament, Fianna Fáil was a leading member of Union for Europe of the Nations until 16 April 2009, but joined the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party on that date and will sit with them after the 2009 European elections.

Thanks for this correction - I wasn't quite sure of the date - there has been a process of courtship going on for quite a while. Apparently the Fianna Fail Leader of the UEN group - Brian Crowley - was fighting the move because he would lose his privileges as a leader.
