In their own words

Michael Collins (Leader of Independent Ireland; TD for Cork South-West) · Healthcare, housing & rural communities

We are committed to delivering policies that make a difference, from healthcare and housing to cost of living, immigration, law and order, and supporting our rural communities. The people deserve better, and Independent Ireland is here to deliver.

Michael Collins (Leader of Independent Ireland; TD for Cork South-West) · Common-sense policies & representation

Common sense is gone out of politics in Ireland today. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Greens have more or less abandoned the people and people are angered by that. We're going to offer common sense policies so people can recognise there is a party out there that speaks on behalf of the people.
