Independent Health Alliance
Defunct Irish political party
The Independent Health Alliance was an electoral alliance which contested the 2002 Irish general election.[1] The Alliance campaigned on the provision of health services in Ireland, which was a constant criticism of the Fianna Fáil–Progressive Democrats coalition government. It also campaigned for disability rights.[2][3]
The Alliance fielded eight candidates for the 2002 election including Offaly County Councillor Molly Buckley,[4] Dublin City Councillor Finian McGrath,[2] and former Limerick Hurling manager Tom Ryan.[5][6] Only Finian McGrath was elected in Dublin North-Central.[7][8] The Alliance broke up shortly afterwards.
