We believe that this money belongs to the Irish people and it should be devoted to dealing with our present crisis rather than guaranteeing the profits of criminal developers, bankers and corrupt politicians.

We seek accountability from those developers bankers and politicians who precipitated and facilitated the collapse of our national economy and we demand extradition and trial for former politicians and banking officials who remain in hiding at home and abroad.

We seek affiliation by groups and organisations with social justice, ecology and anti-corruption agendas to our organisation, with the intent of breaking the mould in Irish politics.

By working together we can unite those campaigning to improve our society and preserve our environmental and cultural heritage. Through unity and a New Vision we seek to promote the election of independent and community workers into our Dáil, where real change can then be implemented.

Our organisation is democratic and accountable, and we welcome and seek public consultation on all of our policies. All member groups may submit their proposals for adoption by the federation, and all registered members will have a vote and an opportunity to contribute.

Member groups may retain their own policies and manifestos which are broadly compatible with those of the federation.

Fís Nua is registered as a political party in Ireland. This allows us to devolve funding to our constituent groups and help them to bring new democratic choices to the electorate in Ireland.
