Mary Fitzgibbon: Independent
A very nice and relaxing chat with Mary Fitzgibbon, who ran as an independent in Ireland South in the very recent European Elections.
Although Mary wasn’t successful in the Euros, she still did relatively well for a candidate that ran as an Independent and without any party backing – getting a total vote of 8328 votes – something that is very difficult to do in Ireland for a variety of reasons – money, support, lack of media attention and general voting apathy.
We chat about the difficulties running as an Independent in Ireland, plus her views on the election results, immigration, the loss of our sovereignty and the family…..

I’m a Nurse, Midwife & Lecturer in Nursing & HealthCare Sciences. We’re experiencing rapid demographic changes with large scale emigration of our young people & falling birth rates. My EU focus is on sovereignty, immigration, neutrality, family life, the right to life, agriculture & small business.
Priorities
Immigration
Ireland is experiencing unprecedented migration both legal and illegal and it is threatening social cohesion, impacting services, health & housing.
Defence
Ireland is a neutral country and we need to be at the forefront of efforts to bring about peace. War is a defeat for humanity. Let’s work for peace.
Agriculture
Irish farmers are struggling with over-regulation, environmental unfairness & removal of the nitrates derogation. I will prioritise farming in Europe.
