Fianna Fáil's only remaining MEP has announced he's changing his group in the European Parliament.
Ireland south representative Brian Crowley is to leave the ALDE group and join the ECR – the Eurosceptic group set up by David Cameron's Conservatives five years ago.

The move is a blow to Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin, who is understood to be deeply unhappy with the move.
Crowley's status within Fianna Fáil is now unclear, as Fianna Fáíl itself is still a full member of ALDE.
