Fís Nua

Fís Nua (pronounced [ˌfʲiːʃ ˈn̪ˠuə]; English: "New Vision") is a minor environmentalist political party in Ireland.

[7][8] This group was formed by a son of former Fianna Fáil Minister Neil Blaney as an umbrella group for independent politicians based on four pillars: separation of bank debt and sovereign debt; overhaul of the public service; a strategy to create jobs; and what they call "the restructure" of the state's energy resources.

In 2016, one of the party's two candidates in that year's general election, Niamh Ó Brien, was convicted and sentenced to four months imprisonment on charges of dangerous driving and failure to provide an intoxicant sample, after refusing to produce documentation after being stopped by Garda patrol which led to the injury of one officer who believed her to be under the influence of cannabis.

[11][12] In November 2017, the Standards in Public Office Commission stated that no statements of accounts had been received from the Fís Nua, in breach of the Electoral Act.

[40] Nic Fhearraigh came last of the sixteen candidates in Donegal, receiving 70 first preference votes, and was eliminated on the first count.

[41] Nic Fhearraigh, who made all her election communications exclusively through the Irish language, was one of the lowest-polling candidates in the country.
