I decided to run in order to give the people of Clare an alternative voice to what I see as the "uni-party" of FG, FF ,Greens and SF. They seem to be in agreement on all of the major issues including facilitating mass migration and population replacement of the Irish people, subservience to Europe, enabling ongoing war in Ukraine, attacking free speech and undermining democracy and facilitating racism within Ireland.

Uncontrolled mass migration, both illegal and legal, is the greatest single issue that faces the country. It will, in the long term, create deep social division and probably lead to violence within the state. The upcoming increased militarisation of Europe in the wake of the second Trump presidential win, where the United States is likely to withdraw support for the war against Russia, is also a significant matter for us. It is likely to lead to the involvement of Europe in an ongoing war with a nuclear superpower.

The potential for a new birth of liberty and a new dawn of freedom for the Irish people with the reintegration of the national territory and unification of our country. The time has come to bring forward the border poll and to seek to make a final settlement with the Protestant people of Ulster. The settlement must be generous, must allow autonomy to the Ulster Protestants and, above all, must protect their civil and religious liberties. That cannot be achieved while those civil and religious liberties are under attack by this Fine Gael-led government. A permanent settlement involving the reintegration of the national territory will involve the creation of a new constitution and we must have the openness to achieve that.
