Human Dignity Alliance


The Human Dignity Alliance is a minor political party in Ireland. It was officially founded on 29 June 2018 by Senator Rónán Mullen.

Background

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 campaigns opposing same-sex marriage in the 2015 referendum and abortion in the 2018 refendum. He is a member of the European Christian Political Movement.

Foundation

The Human Dignity Alliance was borne out of a political grouping within Leinster House that met annually. The party is registered to contest European and Oireachtas elections. Mullen predicted the party would be a "slow burner" and see growth over time. Independent TD Mattie McGrath in 2018 ruled out joining the Human Dignity Alliance.
