An Fís Nua

The Irish Times today has a report about An Fís Nua, the new movement/party I've previously blogged about.

From the article ... "A new political grouping concerned with green and social justice issues adopted a constitution at a meeting in Dublin at the weekend. An Fís Nua or A New Vision, is to register as a political party within weeks and will campaign for seats in the next general and local elections.

Backed largely by former members of the Green Party, the new grouping said it will be concerned with issues like transparency in politics, use of the State’s natural resources, environmental issues and care for the less well off.

The two-day meeting in Parnell Square was attended by former Green Party MEP Patricia McKenna and ex-Green Party councillor Pat Kavanagh of Wicklow town as well as members of the Donegal Greens which recently disaffiliated en masse from the Green Party."

Derek Wall was in attendance at this meeting. He blogs about An Fís Nua here and here.

Politics.ie thread about this here.

I'll be blogging a lot more about this in the coming days and weeks. Watch this space ...
