Our Vision for Ireland: éiRe32 – A Fair, Secure, and Prosperous Nation

At éiRe32, we envision an Ireland that stands as a beacon of fairness, opportunity, and national pride. Rooted in centre-right values of personal responsibility, enterprise, and community strength, we are committed to building a society where every Irish citizen thrives. Our Ireland rewards hard work, protects families, and preserves our cultural heritage for future generations. Rejecting divisive extremes, we champion practical solutions that put Ireland and its people first.

Prioritizing Irish Citizens in Housing

Ireland’s housing crisis has left countless families, young people, and essential workers struggling to afford homes or secure tenancies. With house prices rising for the 21st consecutive month and annual builds falling short of the 52,000 units needed, skilled young Irish are emigrating in record numbers, unable to build a future here. éiRe32 will act decisively: accelerating construction to exceed 50,000 homes annually, reforming planning laws to cut bureaucracy, and ensuring social housing prioritizes Irish citizens on equal terms with any entitlements given to foreign nationals. We will not allow our people to be sidelined while resources are stretched. Our goal is affordable, high-quality housing that strengthens communities and keeps families rooted in Ireland.

Ensuring Equality in Disability and Mental Health Services

Every Irish person deserves access to world-class healthcare without inequality or delay. Yet, socioeconomic disparities persist, with mental health and disability services strained by underfunding and uneven access, as highlighted in Budget 2025’s focus on health inequalities and the HSE’s 2025 National Service Plan. éiRe32 pledges to significantly increase investment in these services, expanding community-based mental health programs, reducing waiting lists for disability assessments, and ensuring Irish citizens receive the same level of care as foreign nationals under international obligations. Through full resourcing of Sláintecare, enhanced outreach, and early intervention, we will build a compassionate, equitable system that upholds dignity for all.

Tackling Illegal Immigration and Fraudulent IPAS Operations

Uncontrolled immigration, particularly illegal immigration, strains Ireland’s resources, exacerbating housing shortages, increasing crime rates, and pressuring public services. With estimates of up to 30,000 undocumented migrants and public concerns fueling tensions—from anti-immigration riots in Northern Ireland to protests over International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centres—we must act. Reports of fraudulent activities tied to IPAS centres, including allegations of money laundering and profiteering by politically connected entities, undermine public trust and divert resources from Irish citizens. The termination of 12 IPAS contracts in 2025 for breaches like non-compliance with planning and fire safety rules signals a deeper issue of mismanagement and potential corruption. éiRe32 will enforce strict border controls, expedite deportations for illegal entrants, and reform asylum processes for swift, fair decisions. We will also launch a robust investigation into the illegal running of IPAS centres, targeting fraud, tax evasion, and exploitation by private operators. By aligning with the Good Friday Agreement’s open border while demanding EU reforms to curb abuse, we will protect communities and ensure migration serves Ireland’s needs.

Combating Corporate Crime for a Transparent Economy

Corporate wrongdoing erodes trust and fairness in Ireland’s thriving economy. Recent cases, such as Ireland’s first insider dealing conviction and new powers under the Criminal Justice Act, underscore the need for accountability. éiRe32 will intensify efforts against white-collar crime, bribery, and corruption, inspired by the 2025 Crime and Policing Bill and the 2020 Hamilton Report’s recommendations. We will strengthen the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau and Criminal Assets Bureau to investigate and prosecute corporate fraud, including any linked to IPAS operations. By holding corporations and their enablers accountable, we will protect workers, investors, and taxpayers, ensuring a level playing field where honest businesses drive prosperity for all Irish people.

Irish Emigration

The reason for Irish emigration has varied over time, forced deportation, economic hardship, conflict, religious persecution and famine have been major drivers in the past.  The country with the largest number of Irish emigrants is England and secondly the United States. 

Forced Deportation 1649-1653

During the Cromwellian conquest and settlement of Ireland (1649-1653) thousands of Irish men, women, and children were forcibly transported to the Caribbean and North America as indentured servants, working on plantations, particularly in the production of tobacco and sugar.  Some historians, like Mark Levene and Alan Axelrod characterize the post-Cromwellian settlement of Ireland as ethnic cleansing, aiming to remove Irish Catholics from certain areas. 

Forced Deportation of Irish to Australia 1791-1867

From 1791 to 1867 it is estimated that around 40,000 Irish convicts were transported to Australia.  Irish convicts were sent for a variety of reasons, including political offenses (like involvement in rebellions), petty theft and other crimes.

Great Famine 1845 – 1855

The Irish Famine, also know as the Great Hunger, led to a massive wave of emigration from Ireland, primarily to North America.  Driven by starvation, disease, and evictions resulting from the potato blight, over two million people left Ireland between 1845 and 1855. While the famine is not officially classified as genocide, it is a subject of ongoing historical debate.  Some argue that the British government’s action or inactions, particularly during the later stages of the famine, constituted a form of neglect that amounted to “aiding and abetting” the disaster.

The Irish have never been classified as asylum seeker or refugees under international law.

Irish emigrations have in the past and currently never received  financial, housing, health or educational support. 

Irish emigrations must enter the countries they are entering legally and have the necessary vias.  In addition most countries will not issue them visa unless they have a qualification or skills that country requires.  If an Irish person enters a country illegally or commits a crime they should be deport and sent back to Ireland. 

Since the 1990s there have been proposals to allow emigrants to vote in elections to the Dail (lower house) or Seanad, generally via a dedicated  (single transferable vote multi-seat) constituency. Groups established by economic emigrants leaving the 1980 recession have advocated for change. A related issue is a proposed right of people in Norther Ireland to vote in the Republic. Arguments in favour of expatriates voting include the economic and cultural importance of the Irish diaspora and the potential benefits of increasing its engagement with the state, and a moral debt owed to reluctant emigrants.  Voting Rights.ie

Irish Diaspora

The Irish Diaspora refers to the worldwide network of people of Irish decent, encompassing both those born in Ireland who have emigrated and those who are descendants of Irish emigrants. Most of the Irish Diaspora emigrated to English speaking countries, with the United States and Great Britain being the top destinations.  Australia and Canda have also seen significant Irish immigration, particularly in recent decades. While the English-speaking countries have historically dominated, there are also significant Irish communities in other parts of the working including Argentina, Brazil and parts of Europe.  Irish people living abroad should have voting rights in Ireland.
