The Irish Independent Left is not a single, unified political party but rather a term that can be used to describe various independent politicians and smaller political groups in Ireland that align themselves with left-wing ideologies outside of the mainstream left-wing parties. These individuals and groups often prioritize social justice, equality, and anti-austerity measures, positioning themselves on the progressive end of the political spectrum. Their values typically emphasize the importance of public services, such as healthcare and education, advocating for these to be protected and…   expanded. They also focus on workers' rights, aiming to improve conditions, wages, and the right to unionize.

Environmental issues and climate change are also significant concerns for the Independent Left, with many advocating for green policies and sustainable development to address these global challenges. Housing is another critical area, with the Independent Left pushing for affordable housing solutions and measures to combat homelessness and housing insecurity.

The Independent Left is characterized by its grassroots approach to politics, often emphasizing direct action, community organizing, and participatory democracy as means to achieve political and social change. This approach distinguishes them from more traditional parties, as they seek to engage directly with communities and stakeholders rather than relying solely on parliamentary strategies.

Given the diverse nature of the Independent Left, the specific policies and priorities can vary widely among its members. However, the overarching theme remains a commitment to creating a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society through progressive policies and social reform.
