Senator vows to establish party if elected

SENATOR Shane Ross has vowed to establish a new political party if he gets elected to the Dáil.

Mr Ross, who is running in Dublin South, suggested a new party is required to fight the “sort of oligarchy” that Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour constitute.

“I have made a decision about this,” he said. “If I am elected, I will form a new political party. But I will not do that until I get elected.”
