Find out more information on our plans for Ireland by visiting our website, www.fiannafail.ie or our other social media channels. Fianna Fáil represents the mainstream of Irish life. It is the only party which on several occasions has commanded overall majorities in Dáil Éireann. Since its foundation Fianna Fáil has been the single most coherent force in Irish politics, so much so indeed that alternative governments have been characterised by their opposition to Fianna Fáil as their only common bond. Electorally Fianna Fáil is second only to the Social Democrats in Sweden in its length of tenure in office. Fianna Fáil adheres to the great democratic principle of government of the people, by the people and for the people. The party’s name incorporates the words ‘The Republican Party’ in its title. Republican here stands both for the unity of the island and a commitment to the historic principles of European republican philosophy, namely liberty, equality and fraternity. Fianna Fáil has always had a ‘can do’ attitude. The Party has always been positive and never defeatist in its thinking. Fianna Fáil aims to unite all in a common identity of self-confident Irish men and women in a dynamic, vibrant, prosperous nation.

The Labour Party campaigns for ideas and policies that progress our vision for a fairer and better Ireland, for a Fair Society that is built on a prosperous and sustainable economy, personal liberty and social solidarity.

The founding principles of the Party are based on peace, democracy, protection of the environment and our natural resources and social justice.
