Independent Ireland is an Irish political party registered on 8 November 2023 by former independent TDs Michael Collins and Richard O'Donoghue.[1][2] Collins said that the party seeks to provide an alternative to voters unhappy with the Fianna Fáil–Fine Gael–Green Party coalition, but are uncomfortable voting for Sinn Féin.[3]
Collins is the leader of the party in Dáil Éireann, while O'Donoghue serves as general secretary. O'Donoghue told the Irish Examiner that he and Collins hoped to encourage members of the Rural Independents Group in the Dáil to join.[4] Both Collins and O'Donoghue had been members of the Rural Independents Group prior to founding the party.
