4. Composition of Parliament

The competent Irish authorities had given notice of the election of Colm Markey to replace Mairead McGuinness as Member of Parliament with effect from 20 November 2020.

Parliament took note of his election.

Under Rule 3(2), until such time as his credentials had been verified or a ruling had been given on any dispute, and provided that he had previously made a written declaration stating that he did not hold any office incompatible with that of Member of the European Parliament, Colm Markey would take his seat in Parliament and on its bodies and would enjoy all the rights attaching thereto.
