There is an appetite for real political change in Ireland. Many people feel underrepresented and feel “politically homeless” as a result of the established political parties appearing to ignore their concerns on many issues.

As a nation, we face numerous long-standing and critical challenges. Crises in housing and healthcare, combined with new challenges such as the rising cost of living, immigration pressures, and a green agenda that disproportionately targets our agricultural sector, have left many in "middle Ireland" feeling disillusioned. This is despite the fact that Ireland's agricultural industry is among the most sustainable and environmentally friendly in the world.

In response to these issues, the people are seeking a political party grounded in practicality and fairness. Independent Ireland offers that common-sense solution.

The gap between a city centric cabinet and the needs of the people of rural Ireland means we must redress the balance and listen to the needs and concerns of all of the people of Ireland. Independent Ireland intends to redress that balance.

We will return the focus to the people who elect us, we will listen to the issues and needs of the electorate and rebuild trust in politics by delivering for the people we serve. We will bring common sense back into politics by delivering common sense solutions and delivering on our promises.
