Thu 05 May 2004Ryan accuses Sinnott of having right-wing viewsEuropean campaign: Independent European Parliament candidate Ms Kathy Sinnott has been challenged to declare her attitudes towards contraception, divorce and other social issues by the Labour Party.Senator Brendan Ryan, who is contesting the South constituency alongside Ms Sinnott, said the disability rights campaigner has "right-wing views" and is supported by the Pro-Life Movement. "Her views are her own business, but we want to make sure that liberal, left-wing people do not vote for her thinking that she is liberal and left-wing when, in fact, she turns out to have entirely different views," he told The Irish Times last night.
