[1][2] The National Alliance was established in July 2024 after small far-right parties failed to achieve success in that year's European and local elections, partly due to vote splitting.

[3][4] The stated goal of the group was to ensure votes for far-right parties were not split in the 2024 general election.

[5] In September 2024, the Electoral Commission rejected an effort to change the name of The Irish People party to "National Alliance".

[8] As of October 2024, the group's election committee included Derek Blighe of Ireland First, Fingal County Council member Patrick Quinlan of the National Party and Anthony Cahill of The Irish People.

[1][9] Other positions the group has outlined include opposition to abortion, defending "the right to free speech",[10] and cutting funding to "subversive NGOs that undermine [Ireland's] national interests".
