Following the defection by May Sexton to the Labour Party, Finian McGrath T.D. has call on Independent Councillors and Candidates to hold their nerve and not to ‘jump ship’ “Most of the large parties just want to mop them up and take them out” said McGrath.

“Beware of false promises of Dail seats and ministerial jobs “ added McGrath, “Irish Society will always want independents in the Dail standing up for the underdog” said Finian. Irish politics needs fresh Independent voices particularly at this difficult time in our history.
