By Cillian Sherlock, PATackling Government waste and radically improving efficiency is the focus of the Independent Ireland election manifesto. Independent Ireland is fronted by leader Michael Collins and co-founder Richard O’Donoghue as well as Michael Fitzmaurice, who formerly sat as Independent TDs in the Dáil. Among its core pledges are a new independent oversight body – recruited from the private sector – to “tackle Government waste, radically improve efficiency and deliver accountability”. Independent Ireland said it would also “secure our borders” and create special courts to deal with illegal immigration. Independent Ireland would declare a housing emergency and delivery affordable homes for people currently renting, it says.
