Safeguarding Values
There is great anger and deep disillusionment among the grass roots supporters of Ireland’s establishment parties.
Our country is divided between those who have access to health care and those who don’t. It’s divided between those who have access to good housing and those who don’t. It’s divided between those who have access to a living wage and those who don’t. It’s divided between those who have safe communities and those who don’t. It’s divided by those who have access to the necessary infrastructure to prosper and those who don’t. It’s divided between rural and urban Ireland – between regional Ireland that is emptying and Dublin that is overheating.
Aontú, our party’s name, is Irish for ‘Unity’ and ‘Agreement’.
We chose that name because we seek to unify Ireland – not only north and south, but also east west. We want to live in a prosperous Ireland, but we also want genuine solidarity. We want a cohesive society and to help heal the deep divisions caused by the establishment.
