Michael Collins TD has announced that Michael Fitzmaurice, TD for the Roscommon–Galway constituency, has joined fledgling party Independent Ireland. “We set-up Independent Ireland to build a coalition of people and politicians who genuinely want to address the real world issues facing ordinary people across this nation. After extensive negotiations with them, Independent Ireland operatives and consultation with my core team of supporters, I decided that it was best to join forces with Michael and Richard to build something substantial together. I believe that Independent Ireland can be the party of common sense solution for this and future generations. “Independent Ireland will be contesting upcoming elections with detailed election manifestos.
