The Human Dignity Alliance (Irish: Comhaontas Dhínit an Duine)[2] is a minor right-wing political party in Ireland. The party was founded in June 2018 by Senator Rónán Mullen.[3]

Background

[edit]

Mullen, the party's founder, has served as an independent senator for the National University of Ireland constituency since 2007. In 2014 he contested the European Parliament election unsuccessfully in the Midlands-North-West constituency. Mullen was prominent in referendum campaigns opposing same-sex marriage in the 2015 referendum and abortion in the 2018 referendum.[4][5] He is also a member of the European Christian Political Party.[6]

Foundation

[edit]

The Human Dignity Alliance was born out of a political grouping within Leinster House that met annually. The party was established on 29 June 2018 in support of Mullen's pro-life position and was registered with the clerk of Dáil Éireann,[3] to contest Dáil, European and local elections.[7] Mullen predicted the party would be a "slow burner" and see growth over time.[3] In July 2018, independent TD Mattie McGrath ruled out joining the Human Dignity Alliance.[8]
