Now it's official: "Ireland needs a new right wing party".

There have been many right wing parties in Ireland. And if people want them in power, believe they represent their beliefs then they will vote for them be in power. If people don't want them to be in power, don't believe they represent their beliefs then they won't be.

The no true right-wing party fallacy once again appears on Boards

It's almost as if Irish people aren't happy with fascist like rhetoric in political parties.

Beside what traditional or neo-conservative right wing policy, other than a ban or highly restrictive policies immigration or blatant racism, does they country not have?

100% PD's were a disaster.
Ripped up our health system, broke up Aer Rianta, and pushed heavily for privatization of every public service (ESB, CIE, Telecom Eireann, etc)

Those actions have had far reaching and expensive consequences.

The only 'right wing' policy there seems to be appetite for is tougher stances on the undocumented, welfare and crime. Not much else about the right appeals to the public. That being said, immigration seems to be the main driver and I'm no longer convinced that the people who support the open door policy are actually 'left wing'. The only benefactors of our current policy is a select few hoteliers and caterers (already rich folks in the know) who get cozy state contracts, the people who suffer from it are typically the working class who's areas are saddled with thousands of young men from the developing world with no ID who will be homed well in advance of any local person seeking a home of their own. Seems like a right wing policy to me.

Theres no real appetite for an actual right wing party in Ireland.

However the majority of people,I'd wager the vast majority are angry with what has happened with immigration. This is compounded when their fears and concerns are silenced or they are called racists etc.

We do need one of the main parties to address this,it was an open goal for SF but they have shown themselves not to be too smart or savvy.My bet is it'll be FG,maybe FF.

Anyway,bottom line is they're be no new significant right wing party any time soon

Sounds like a simplistic Americanism, that adds nothing to political discourse in the sane world. It means all manner of things including belief in a public healthcare system and government led affordable housing.

On matters of the economy things have drifted so far to the right that what we have now is considered normal. There is very little further we could go right in economic terms without attacking all forms of welfare ( which would be a disaster to sell to the public despite what some imagine). What we have have economically is why we have so many social problems. More right wing economic policies would only make the social situation more unstable. Welfare is only there to ensure long term social stability and an attack on it would pivot the country into a very dangerous state - fortunately no sensible political part fails to understand this so only an extreme right wing party would precipitate such a social crisis.

Unfortunately the only way to address many of our social issues is some form of shift to a more interventionist model.

The whole social conservative agenda is another matter - but ultimately a vote loser since Ireland had become very socially liberal as a reaction to the history of social conservatism under Catholic Ireland.

No easy answers and a populist right wing party will certainly not solve anything.

in the USA or Australia, mainstream news reeporters will call you 'woke' or a 'libtard' if you care about the environment, want public health care or want affordable housing. It's a catch all used by early school leavers in places with substandard education who are only capable of all or nothing, black/white, yes/no thinking.

The Irish economy has been outperforming all our European peers for years now.

And yet the actual cost of living and purchasing power of the Irish family has been eroded. The focus on economy and "the numbers go up" over people's actual quality of life is what has led us to this point in the first place.

They (He) no pun intended claims that Aontu is socially conservative with centre left economics, that's opposed to abortion.
Kind of an oxymoron. But also kind of isn't.

I support socially inclusive policies (to an extent).
I think public services should stay public and never be privatised, (but they should be managed carefully).
I believe in people being allowed to make a mistake once, make it twice though and you pay the penalty no matter how harsh it is.
I think you are mostly responsible for you and the world owes you nothing, (I've done ok, I come from nothing. A lot of lads I went to school with are dead… that's the kind of area I come from).
I think religious beliefs along with sexual orientation and gender identification have absolutely no place in the the work place. There are places/events for those things (IE Pride is about LGBTQ, Communion/Confirmation is about Religion or indeed your own home for your own beliefs) Work is work, I'm their to work, not for culture/social stuff.

I don't feel there are any political parties that represent my views.

Wokey woke libtards allowing all these Mexicans across our borders. Make Ireland Great Again/Eirexit. Usually funded by groups outside of Ireland. Usually with Irish name so if you don't support them then you are not REALLY Irish.

But who is stopping these parties? If people want them then they will vote for them. If they are not voted in then the party will have to accept that they did not speak for people who did not vote for them
