The election was conducted under the single transferable vote. Local elections were held on the same day for borough councils, urban district councils and town commissioners. Campaign In 1992, a general election in Ireland led to the Labour Party's best results to date, paving the way for Dick Spring to lead his party into coalition with Fianna Fáil. The 1994 local and European elections were seen in some quarters as a mid-term report on that coalition's performance. The strong result by the Green Party in particular was interpreted as a warning that left-leaning middle class voters were moving away from Labour.Morahan Jim 13 June 1994 Green Party's McKenna Is The Toast of Dublin 11 Cork Examiner The election was notable for how some parties ran "parachute candidates" (like Orla Guerin for Labour) who did not resonate with voters as well as incumbent, grassroots campaigners.McNally Frank Searching for the dream candidate https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/searching-for-the-dream-candidate-1.62907 2021-03-26 The Irish Times en The popularity of President Mary Robinson led to parties presenting more female candidates than usual, four of whom became MEPs on this occasion.Downing John 21 July 1994 Women Fine-Tune A Powerbase in European Politics 89 Evening Herald Results Fianna Fáil 398066 +3.5 7 +1 Fine Gael 276095 +2.7 4 0 Labour Party 124972 +1.5 1 0 Green Party 90046 +4.2 2 +2 Progressive Democrats 73696 −5.5 0 −1 Democratic Left 39706 New 0 New Sinn Féin 33823 +0.8 0 0 Workers' Party 22100 −5.8 0 −1 Independent 78986 −1.7 1 0 19806 2631575 MEPs elected List of members of the European Parliament for Ireland, 1994–1999 Constituency NamePartyEP group Connacht–Ulster Pat "the Cope" Gallagher Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Mark Killilea Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Joe McCartin Fine Gael European People's Party Dublin Patricia McKenna Green Party (Ireland) The Green Group in the European Parliament Mary Banotti Fine Gael European People's Party Niall Andrews Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Bernie Malone Labour Party (Ireland) Party of European Socialists Leinster Liam Hyland Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Alan Gillis Fine Gael European People's Party Jim Fitzsimons Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Nuala Ahern Green Party (Ireland) The Green Group in the European Parliament Munster Brian Crowley Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance Gerry Collins Fianna Fáil European Democratic Alliance John Cushnahan Fine Gael European People's Party Pat Cox Independent politician (Ireland) European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party Group Voting details thumb|right|200px|1979–2004 European Parliament Ireland constituencies ConstituencyElectorateTurnoutSpoiltValid PollQuotaSeatsCandidatesConnacht–Ulster496,352237,601 (47.8%)4,971 (2.1%)232,63058,15839Dublin755,486280,761 (37.2%)2,917 (1.1%)277,84455,569415Leinster624,561269,044 (43.1%)6,599 (2.4%)262,44552,490412Munster755,176369,890 (48.9%)5,319 (1.4%)364,57172,915416Total2,631,5751,157,296 (43.9%)19,806 (1.7%)1,137,490—1552 See also List of members of the European Parliament for Ireland, 1994–1999 – List ordered by constituency References External links ElectionsIreland.org – 1994 European Parliament (Ireland) election results Category:1994 in Irish politics Ireland European 1994 Euro
