Fis Nua party denounce hunting
22 December 2011

Ireland's newest registered political party has denounced cruelty to animals, including hunting. At a recent convention, Fis Nua passed a motion stating: "We denounce all forms of animal cruelty and terrorisation, and hunting animals for sport."

The passing of the motion means that this now forms Fis Nua's stated policy on animal welfare.

ICABS welcomes Fis Nua's strong anti-bloodsports stance. Thanks and congratulations to the party's Deputy Co-Ordinator, Cllr Patricia Kavanagh (Wicklow Town Council) for succeeding in getting the motion passed.

Fis Nua denounces "all forms of animal cruelty"
15 February 2011

The Fis Nua political federation has denounced "all forms of animal cruelty and terrorisation, and hunting animals for sport" in its manifesto.

The manifesto also outlines that Fis Nua

• "would establish a special Department within the Department of Environment for all matters concerning Birds, Wildlife, Habitat and Biodiversity. Far too little consideration has been given to these life-sustaining, but threatened natural resources."
• "would ensure an up-to-date National Biodiversity Plan."
• "would promote the clean green image of Ireland abroad creating a ‘green Ireland’ brand for food products and ensure Ireland becomes a GM-free zone and ban farming of cloned animals."

Fis Nua will be running five candidates in the general election. They are:

Dr. Ben Nutty (Waterford)
Cllr. Pat Kavanagh (Wicklow)
Gerry Kinsella (Wicklow)
Liam Johnston (Dublin Central)
Peadar Ó Ceallaigh (Dublin South East)
