Barry Cowen

That is one of the fuller declaration sheets in the Parliament - 2.2× the average member, and 20 of 77 within Renew Europe.

19% of this MEP's declared counterpart entries, including diplomatic and government entries, carry a declared EU Transparency Register link - below the like-for-like raw Parliament-wide share of 51%.

Compared with the averages

Transparency this term

Monthly declared meetings (bars) and the share of all counterpart entries carrying a declared Register link, including diplomatic and government entries (line), July 2024 to September 2026. This is the same current-term window as the figures above, beginning 16 July 2024.

Current month, partial through 11 Sep 2026: 0 declared meetings in Sep 2026. Peak: 18 in Nov 2025.

Busiest month: 18 declared in November 2025. Months with no declared meetings have no Register-share value.

Who Barry Cowen meets most

Counterparts are merged by resolved Transparency Register identity where possible. An entry counts as register-linked above only when the MEP declaration itself carries a Register link.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Barry Cowen held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.

Final texts where Barry Cowen differed from the Renew majority

Unlinked but matchable

33 counterpart entrys in Barry Cowen's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

• “Irish Farmers Association” - likely Irish Farmers' Association (3 counterpart entrys)
• “The Irish Farmers Association” - likely Irish Farmers' Association (3 counterpart entrys)
• “Irish Grain Growers” - likely Irish grain growers group (2 counterpart entrys)

Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
