This page is a little short of information. I'm interested in this guy because I've read that he wishes to become President of Ireland, my home country.
However, the page only includes information that he obtained a degree in law, that he was nominated to the Seanad, and that he subsequently became (and remains) an MEP.
What has he actually achieved to merit the highest post in the land? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.173.227 ( talk) 20:21, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
From the article:
"European Parliament approved a report drafted by Brian Crowley to extend the copyright term of music recordings from 50 years to 95 years"
So we know that Crowley was easily influenced by a lobby group, the recording industry, who are acting in their own self interest. Fifty to 95 years copyright extension, is madness and reflects on Crowley's credibility as a peoples' representative. Seemingly he favours the recording industry instead of the the music consuming public. 83.70.242.79 ( talk) 01:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
To determine what Brian Crowley stands for in the context of his seeking the Presidency of Ireland, it is necessary to see his parliamentary contributions over his several terms there.
If the record of debates in the European Parliament is searched online for contributions by Brian Crowley, there are questions asked, but little record of other contributions. Previous editors did not point to any significant contributions other than the copyright issue. 83.70.250.168 ( talk) 00:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted your unexplained deletions (editor Snappy), from this article. The facts that you removed are accurately cited and relevant to the individual's profile. Please explain your edit, which removes accurately referenced fact. Please be aware of the editing guidelines in policy NPOV, which requires controversial edits to remain, but not to be removed by an editor who disagrees. 83.70.252.221 ( talk) 21:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

An edit that is validly sourced to reliable references is pertinent. To supress such an edit is in breach of NPOV. To counterbalance any edit, other editors should seek sourced mainstream opinion to substanciate their editorial viewpoint. To accuse an editor who is accurately editing, as being disruptive is in breach of NPOV Octanis ( talk) 00:05, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
From 2011 to 2013, Crowley had trouble with sores on his legs arising from his paralysis. IP 83.70.230.150, using dead links, is adding the "fact" that because of this illness, Crowley had a poor attendance and voting record. Imagine that, a wheelchair user, who is ill from complications of his paralysis and so cannot attend parliament. If he had no excuse and was just a poor attender of parliament, then there would be no problem adding this info. This is very pointy editing. Snappy ( talk) 19:38, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I have the removed this reference [1], it is biased, unreliable and in clear breach of NPOV. It take no account of Crowley's illness and is being used by Crowley's political opponents (see section above) to smear him. Snappy ( talk) 06:43, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Is Brian Crowley a member of Fianna Fail or not? Fianna Fail's website claims that he is, but Crowley's own website has no mention of FF whatsoever. We know he lost the party whip in 2014 but is he still a member of Fianna Fail? Their website claims not withstanding. Spleodrach ( talk) 14:44, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

There have been a number of changes between former Irish Fianna Fáil politician and Irish former Fianna Fáil politician. In my view the first is ambiguous and the second is awkward. How about changing to retired Irish Fianna Fáil politician? Pinging Spleodrach and Inexorable Existence. Wham2001 ( talk) 09:59, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
