Biography

Mary Fitzgibbon is a nursing lecturer who ran as an independent candidate in the 2016 general election.

Question time
What do you deem the most important issue for the European Union now and what would you like to see happen in that area?

Loss of sovereignty for individual member states. I would like to see our sovereignty reclaimed and to decide what is best in the interests of our country.

What group will you be aligned with in the European Parliament, should you win a seat? What do you see as their priorities?

I have looked at Identity and Democracy and European Conservative and Reformists. Priorities are sovereignty, making democratic decisions in the best interests of nation states, immigration, neutrality, pro family policies, agriculture and supports for small business.

Why should someone vote for you?

I will serve you not any party and I will be a strong voice for Ireland and for policies that serve our interests and our people.
