Wednesday May 13 2009
A MYSTERY candidate from Drogheda has emerged to stand for election to the European Parliament.
Mr Peter Garvey, with an address in Peter Street, has joined the electoral race as an independent in the Ireland east constituency.
Mr Garvey told the Drogheda Independent that he had no intention of revealing the details of his European election manifesto to the public just yet.
'I want to put the idea in people's minds and let them think about,' he said.
Mr Garvey, who is in his senior years, described himself as 'the son of two school teachers'.
'I am the only true independent candidate in this election. I just want people to think about that at the moment,' he stressed.
