Creighton and Hobbs unveil party’s plan to ‘reboot’ Ireland

Rebel ex-minister Lucinda Creighton has promised a different type of politics where TDs will be free to vote with their conscience, as she outlined plans for a new party.

The Independent TD is seeking high-profile backing for the project ahead of its formal launch in two months.

TV personality and financial pundit Eddie Hobbs joined the former minister of state for European affairs in announcing the as-yet unnamed party as they vowed to transform politics.
