A new group has set out its plans to become a political force in Ireland. Slí Nios Fearr, meaning “A Better Way”, wants to offer an alternative political party to the Irish electorate.
At the launch yesterday, founder Martin Critten said he wanted to tap into ordinary citizens’ talents. “Slí Nios Fearr respects the needs of all individuals, not just the elite,” he said. Mr Critten (54), was born in Manchester and moved to Ireland in 2000.
Slí Nios Fearr has fewer than 100 members but will require 300 registered members to become recognised as a political party.
