DECLAN Ganley will today signal his intention to run in the European elections in the North-West constituency.

The No To Lisbon campaigner is also expected to announce the launch of Libertas as a pan-European party to contest next June's elections in several EU countries.

The Libertas chief will steal some of the limelight from Taoiseach Brian Cowen's EU Summit on the Lisbon Treaty by announcing his plans to the European media at his new office in Brussels.

The group is tipped to turn the European elections into a referendum by also standing candidates in other EU countries, including the UK.

Aside from Mr Ganley, it is not yet clear who will be lining out for the group.
