Sandro Gozi, a French MEP who is close to French President Emmanuel Macron, has written to the leaders of Renew recommending Mr Mullooly's membership.
Mr Gozi said Mr Mullooly’s"commitment to promoting democracy, social justice, and a more cohesive and progressive Europe makes him a valuable addition to our team. Mr Mullooly’s candidacy was initially put forward by former MEP Marian Harkin, who is a vice-president of the EDP. He added:"I will be the voice of the EDP in terms of agricultural farming, and we'd also be expecting a substitute role on another committee to be confirmed, probably regional development or employment."Asked if he will vote for Ursula von der Leyen in her bid to secure a second term as European Commission president, Mr Mullooly told RTÉ News he would"keep an open mind.
