Building a movement for a New Ireland
Building a new Ireland is about changing the record for people in every community on our island , regardless of their background, who have been badly served by the failure to deliver good public services, high quality housing and new economic opportunities.

Our mission is to build a new Ireland by winning a referendum. That means we need to understand the needs, hopes, concerns and fears of everyone but particularly people in the middle who are open to change.

Catch our chairman @columeastwood.ie on BBC Northern Ireland’s Sunday Politics today talking about our work and the opportunity to build a New Ireland.
The future we’re working to build is based on better public services, a more open economy, more opportunities for the next generation to make a life for themselves here.
That’s the prize of a New Ireland for me.
