Brian Crowley

MEP (FF) for Munster since 1994.

This Parliament's contribution? Legislative process more responsive to citizens and more accountability from the Commission as a result of increased powers for Parliament

Own proudest achievement? Bringing forward an own-initiative report on housing policy in the EU and bringing in a partnership approach for local authorities, EU and construction industry. Also mainstreaming the issue of disability

Frustration? The slow, cumbersome nature of the legislative process. Lack of recognition at home for what is done in EP
