Taimid
STRONGER TOGETHER
About
We pledge transparency in all TAIMID Ireland does, establishing goals with processes that prioritize every Irish person’s welfare. Our vision reimagines government as a business, run by qualified, experienced leaders who minimize costs while maximizing results. Past governments’ missteps—triggering the housing crisis, soaring living expenses, the 2008 banking meltdown, immigration strain, and declining beef and dairy exports—prove change is overdue. TAIMID will break from these patterns with a fresh, effective approach.
We reject the flawed party system, where the “Party Whip” enforces a dictatorial grip, silencing dissent and controlling votes and media narratives. Instead, TAIMID unites as a coalition of Independents, registered with the Government, ensuring our representatives act freely in constituents’ interests. Every member will maintain a public portfolio, showcasing their qualifications and experience. As taxpayers, you deserve to know who you’re entrusting with Ireland’s most vital roles.
Drawing from the Irish Proclamation of Independence,
“in the name of God,” we root our governance in faith and service to the people. This bill ends secretive, inefficient rule, replacing it with a system where expertise drives policy, costs are curbed, and national interests reign. Housing will be built, living costs tackled, banking stabilized, immigration managed, and exports revived through pragmatic, people-first solutions. TAIMID’s coalition empowers local voices via county commissions, ensuring laws reflect real needs, not party policies. This is governance rebuilt—transparent, accountable, and for all Ireland.

An Bille um Tacaíocht do Dhaoine gan Dídean
(Homelessness Support)
The Homelessness Eradication ensures no Irish citizen lacks a bed, three meals daily, and clean clothes, recognizing homelessness as a Government responsibility. It mandates hostel accommodation under Section 2 of the Housing Act 1988, requiring local authorities to provide safe shelter. Store gift cards for food and clothing are funded via Personal Public Service Numbers, as governed by Section 246 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005. The Department of Housing, per Section 10 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, collaborates with local authorities and charities to implement Homelessness Action Plans. Priority is given to removing people from streets, restoring dignity. Penalties for non-compliant service providers are enforced under new regulations. Annual reports ensure accountability. Commencing on a Minister-appointed date, this Act fosters a compassionate society, affirming the inherent worth of every citizen by addressing homelessness through coordinated, funded support systems.
An Bille um Laghdú Cáin Bhreisluacha
(Value Added Tax Reduction)
A Bill to reduce the standard rate of Value Added Tax from 23% to 12%, to address the economic hardship inflicted by high taxation policies of the 33rd Government, despite significant tax gains from multinational corporations such as Apple. The increase in VAT, including a 2% rise, has contributed to widespread closures of small and medium businesses, severely impacting retail and leaving city centres deserted. This Act establishes a flat 12% VAT rate on all goods and services to lower the cost of living, boost consumer spending, and support economic recovery. For a family with a net income of €100,000, this reduction could save approximately €5,500 annually, enhancing disposable income. This Act shall come into operation on a date appointed by the Minister and may be cited as the Value Added Tax Reduction Act.
CONSTITUTION OF IRELAND
"In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and State must be referred, We, the people of Éire,
Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial".
Whereas 84% of Ireland’s population adheres to Christian values, and non-Christian influences have entered governance against public will, TAIMID seeks to restore the core principles of our 1919 Free State.
All races and creeds are respected, free to express traditions within Ireland’s legal framework. TAIMID, rejecting modern party whips as authoritarian, operates as a coalition of Independents to address complex issues. The Oireachtas shall ensure laws reflect the Christian ethos that founded our nation, promoting dignity and compassion fostering governance aligned with historical values.
Acht Tacaíochta Garda Síochána
(Garda Síochána Support Act)
This Act may be cited as the Garda Síochána Support Act. To relieve An Garda Síochána of clerical burdens, Civil Clerks, akin to court systems, shall be appointed to handle administrative tasks, ensuring Garda focus on frontline duties. This Act rejects the unacceptable two-year training delay proposed elsewhere, mandating implementation within six months. The Mental Health Act is amended to limit involuntary admissions to life-threatening cases, prioritising hospital beds for waiting list patients over queue-jumpers. The restriction on Garda running for political office shall be reviewed recognising their valuable governance experience.
Acknowledging new community dangers and criminals outgunning Garda this Act authorises 50% of Gardaí to carry sidearms (required for 32 county Ireland), reducing reliance on the Emergency Response Unit, with mandatory training. Garda shall be streamlined with Border Management to review immigration status and instantly remove undocumented or illegal non-nationals, supported by specialised training for efficient enforcement.
Acht um Athchóiriú Údarás Áitiúil agus Caomhnú
(Local Authority Reform and Architectural Heritage Preservation)
The Heritage and Urban Planning Reform Act reforms local authorities to ensure consistent planning standards while preserving Ireland’s architectural heritage, particularly Dublin’s Victorian and Georgian facades. It mandates faster planning approvals, balancing efficiency with heritage protection, as supported by the Planning and Development Act 2024 (Part 3, Chapter 5, Section 50), which requires heritage conservation strategies in development plans. Developments must align with historical styles (Part 10, Chapters 1 and 2), protecting structures and Architectural Conservation Areas. Section 15 safeguards national monuments, and Section 170 regulates demolitions. Government projects may be sold to developers for swift construction, respecting heritage. Town centers will feature parking, social zones, dog parks, and uniform footpaths, with heritage areas using compatible designs, guided by local plans. The act prioritizes National Inventory of Architectural Heritage structures, offering restoration incentives via the Built Heritage Investment Scheme, and mandates annual heritage reports for accountability. It commences on a Minister-appointed date.
An Bille um Athbheochan Iascaireachta na hÉireann
(Irish Fisheries Revival)
The Irish Fisheries Revival Act seeks to restore Ireland’s fishing industry, ravaged by the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy post-2004, which allowed foreign super trawlers to deplete Irish Sea fish stocks, collapsing family-run fisheries in coastal towns like Skerries, Co. Dublin, where 30 locally owned trawlers harvesting lobster and cod once thrived but none remain, leaving families without livelihoods or homes. This Act restricts fishing in Irish waters to vessels registered under Section 10 of the Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act 2006, requiring amendments to the European Union (Common Fisheries Policy) Regulations 2019 (S.I. No. 647/2019) and negotiation of Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 for EU approval to limit foreign vessel access. The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine will enforce fish stock replenishment via Section 12, prioritizing local employment through licensing. Annual reports on heritage and economic impacts ensure accountability. Commencing on a Minister-appointed date, this Act promotes sustainable fisheries, safeguards coastal livelihoods, and asserts Ireland’s sovereignty, fostering economic recovery and cultural heritage preservation while navigating EU constraints.
An Bille um Rochtain Tithíochta Céaduaire na hÉireann
(Irish First Access Housing)
The "First Access Housing" initiative, a transformative policy for Irish citizens, introduces a 90% mortgage scheme via Bank of Ireland for first-time buyers, including those repurchasing after losing homes in the Covid or banking crises. This complements supports like the First Home Scheme under the Department of Housing. To enhance rental affordability, it proposes amending the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 (Section 19 and Section 66) to enforce a 20% profit cap on landlords’ rental income, alongside fair rent adjustments based on assessed costs. To protect local housing markets, new legislation, potentially amending the Planning and Development Act 2000, will limit non-Irish citizens to owning two residential properties, curbing foreign dominance. Grounded in constitutional equality (Article 40.1), this bill aims to reduce homeownership barriers, stabilize rentals, and preserve Irish housing sovereignty, fostering a balanced, sustainable housing system for Ireland.
An Bille um Beatha ag an gCoincheap na hÉireann
(Irish Life at Conception)
The 33rd Irish Government oversaw over 44,000 abortions, and scientific research, including NIH studies, confirms zinc sparks—zinc ion releases from the egg within minutes of fertilization—mark the onset of embryonic development, TAIMID Ireland recognizes life at conception. Conception is defined as the moment zinc sparks occur, signifying a new human life. Every person, from this moment, is a legal person with the fundamental right to life, entitled to full protection under Irish law, as reinforced by Article 40.3.2° of the Constitution of Ireland, which mandates the state to protect the life of every citizen from unjust attack. Additionally, Section 23 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018 protects fetal life by criminalizing unauthorized terminations. Abortion is prohibited, except when a qualified medical professional determines the mother’s life is at risk. Using Oireachtas authority, this defines personhood, fulfilling our moral duty to protect the unborn. By halting abortions, we aim to restore a culture of life, ensuring Ireland upholds the inherent dignity of every human from conception, fostering compassion and respect for all life.
An Bille um Deimhniú Bóthair na hÉireann
(Irish Road Certificate)
We propose a transformative reform of Ireland’s vehicle regulation system through a new act that will repeal the Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Act 2015 and amend the Road Traffic Act 1961, particularly sections mandating compulsory insurance (Section 56). The "Road Certificate" will consolidate road tax, liability insurance, and compliance requirements into a single, affordable framework, ensuring funding for road maintenance and accident liabilities while reducing driver costs. Traffic enforcement will shift from court-based processes to automatic fines issued by An Garda Síochána using traffic cameras and automated systems, as enabled by amending Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) Regulations 1997 (S.I. No. 182/1997), with robust safeguards for fairness and accuracy. Year-based license plates, governed by Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 1992 (S.I. No. 318/1992), will be replaced with randomized numbers to eliminate stigma, promote equality, and encourage sustainable vehicle use. This act delivers a fair, efficient, and modern vehicle regulation system for Ireland.
An Bille um Cheannasacht na hÉireann
(Irish Sovereignty)
The Irish Dáil, as affirmed by the 1916 Proclamation, holds sole authority to enact laws for Ireland, ensuring the people’s unfettered control over Irish destinies. The proposed act asserts this sovereignty by rejecting external influences like the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and WEF’s frameworks, which may prioritize corporate interests.
Current laws, including the European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) (No. 2) Regulations 2006, implementing Directive 2004/38/EC, grant EU citizens entry (Regulation 4(1)) and residence rights (Regulation 6) without visas.
To protect economic stability and avoid Brexit’s 2-5% GDP drop, we propose electronic entry visas for EU citizens at Irish entry points, enabling Garda verification, with non-compliant entrants facing removal. This requires amending the 2006 Regulations and renegotiating EU agreements. The Immigration Act 2004 supports border control authority. This act ensures Ireland’s sovereign destiny, balancing border security with economic stability while fostering national independence.
An Bille um Ionad Leighis Neamhbhaol na hÉireann
(Irish Non-Life-Threatening Medical Centre)
TAIMID Ireland propose the Non-Life-Threatening Medical Centres Act to establish 24/7 walk-in medical centres in major Irish towns, providing GP, dental, and urgent care for non-critical conditions.
This addresses hospital overcrowding, with HIQA reporting emergency wait times up to 90 hours (Irish Times, Dec 14, 2022). The act amends the Health Act 1970 (Sections 45-46, 51-71), expanding eligibility for free or subsidized community-based care, and the Health Act 2004 (Sections 38, 41-55), empowering the HSE to fund and manage centres while ensuring public consultation. It aligns with the Health Act 1947 (Sections 21-28) for community health services and the Equal Status Acts 2000-2018 to prevent discrimination in access. HIQA oversight, per the Health Act 2007 (Section 8), ensures quality. By decentralizing care, the act reduces hospital strain, cuts wait times, and enhances patient outcomes, fostering a sustainable, accessible healthcare system for Ireland’s communities.
An Bille um Chosaint Fostaíochta na hÉireann
(Irish Employment Protection)
To address unemployment driven by automation and AI, we propose the Employment and Technology Regulation Act, prohibiting technologies that directly replace human workers, prioritizing job preservation and economic stability through sustained income tax revenue. This aligns with Ireland’s Employment Equality Acts 1998–2015, promoting fair employment, and the National Minimum Wage Act 2000, ensuring stable livelihoods. The act would mandate companies to demonstrate that AI enhances, not supplants, human roles, with oversight by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) under the Workplace Relations Act 2015.
Additionally, the act introduces online content regulations to protect minors, building on the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022, which empowers Coimisiún na Meán to enforce rules against harmful content like cyberbullying and explicit material. Strict age verification and content standards will ensure a safe digital environment, aligning with Irish values while fostering economic and social welfare.
An Bille um Réiteach Tithíochta na hÉireann
(Irish Housing Solution)
TAIMID Ireland Act tackles Ireland’s housing crisis by streamlining private builder approvals and enhancing water infrastructure, moving away from state-led social housing. The Planning and Development Act 2000 (Sections 32-44, 125-143) governs planning but causes delays, needing simplification. The Affordable Housing Act 2021 (Sections 4-27, 41-48) supports private housing but requires expansion for broader impact. The Water Services Act 2007 (Sections 77, 93-98) enables water mains expansion, critical for new developments, yet Irish Water’s limitations persist. Related laws, like the Housing Act 1966 and Water Services Act 2017, focus on social housing and water governance but not private development. Amending Planning and Development Act 2000 (Sections 32, 125) and Water Services Act 2007 (Section 97) will expedite approvals and infrastructure growth. This act empowers families with capital, stabilizes prices, reduces rents, and restores balance to Ireland’s housing market, prioritizing practical capital solutions over socialism ideology.
An Bille um Thacaíocht Teaghlaigh na hÉireann
(Irish Family Support)
The proposed act, offering free childcare for working parents, empowers mothers by eliminating upfront childcare payments, replacing the €2.14 subsidy with instant relief. Unlike the National Childcare Scheme’s rebate system, which requires initial costs before reimbursement, free childcare removes financial barriers, enabling mothers to return to work immediately. The Child Care Act, 1991 (Sections 9, 10, 56) regulates childcare but lacks universal free access. The Childcare Support Act, 2018 (Sections 2, 7, 9, 13, 15, 25) governs the €2.14 subsidy, which this act would replace. The Children Act, 2001 (Section 162) supports child welfare, not broad childcare. MyGovID, enhanced as “MyGov,” ensures swift eligibility verification. The ECCE Programme offers limited pre-school, not full childcare. Amending Childcare Support Act, 2018 (Section 13) and expanding funding will support mothers’ workforce re-entry, strengthen families, and uphold Ireland’s pro-family values.
An Bille um Fhorbairt Tithíochta Fast-Track na hÉireann
(Irish Fast-Track Housing Development)
We will launch a fast-track process for developers to construct Ireland’s 300,000 needed homes, streamlining approvals and enhancing infrastructure support.
Developers must allocate a percentage of homes to the Government at cost price for public use, blending private initiative with social responsibility. This strategy dismantles the inefficient state-led building model, accelerates private development, and ensures supply meets demand.
By cutting red tape for builders and easing access for buyers, we aim to reduce costs, boost availability, and deliver a market-driven solution to the housing crisis.
Prioritizing first-time buyers, this reform fosters a dynamic, efficient system that addresses Ireland’s urgent needs. With clear terms and swift processes, we balance economic growth and public welfare, creating a sustainable housing market that works for all.
An Bille um Chosaint Beatha na hÉireann
(Irish Life Protection)
The "Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2024" aims to legalize assisted dying in Ireland, but TAIMID Ireland aims have it stopped.
Irish law classifies such acts as murder under the Criminal Justice Act 1964, Section 4, with life imprisonment, and bans assisted suicide via the Criminal Law (Suicide) Act 1993.
The Constitution’s Article 40.3 safeguards the right to life, supported by the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 2. Legalization risks abuse, with a 30% misdiagnosis rate potentially causing wrongful deaths. Canada’s high euthanasia rates highlight a "slippery slope" danger. It could strain the doctor-patient bond, conflicting with medical ethics to preserve life.
Enhanced palliative care better upholds patient dignity.
Proposed safeguards, like oversight boards, fall short against these risks. Maintaining current laws honour's Ireland’s legal and moral duty to protect life.
Thus, the bill should be rejected.
An Bille um Thacaíocht Feirmeoireachta na hÉireann
(Irish Farming Support)
TAIMID Ireland, a proposed initiative, addresses financial burdens on farmers and livestock demands, tackling EU policies risking a “food bubble” (EU Agricultural Outlook 2023-35). The Capital Acquisitions Tax Consolidation Act 2003 (Part 11) grants 90% inheritance tax relief, yet high taxes force farm sales. The CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 (€9.8 billion, down from €10.68 billion) strains incomes. The Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Act 2023 (Part 3) curbs unfair trading but ignores non-EU food imports. The Income Tax Act 1967 (Sections 45, 278) provides limited relief. TAIMID’s Act proposes zero taxes on farming businesses for four years, tariffs on non-EU foods, and rejection of external interference. This safeguards livestock markets, ensures food security, and supports farmers. Amending tax laws or enacting this bill is vital to strengthen Irish agriculture and avert food supply risks.
An Bille um Chosaint Gnó na hÉireann
(Manufactured
Denial Of Service "M.D.O.S")
Ireland’s legal framework partially tackles “cancel culture” causing economic sabotage. The Consumer Protection Act 2007 (Sections 41-63) prohibits unfair commercial practices, potentially addressing deceptive interference. The Competition Act 2002 (Sections 4-5) bans anti-competitive behavior, relevant to disruptions like Google’s investment loss. The Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018 (Sections 7-10) covers corruption, applicable if interference involves bribery or intimidation. Employment laws, like the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977, protect individuals but not large-scale economic harm. No law explicitly addresses coordinated domestic sabotage.
The proposed M.D.O.S Act, with €7 million fines and 7 years’ imprisonment, would fill this gap. Amending existing laws or enacting M.D.O.S is vital to safeguard Ireland’s economy.
An Bille um Phunt na hÉireann 2025
(Irish Punt)
Inspired by the 1916 Proclamation’s pledge to Ireland’s sovereignty and prosperity, we propose reintroducing the Irish Punt as a gold-backed dual currency alongside the euro. The 2008 financial crisis exposed global market fragility, necessitating economic resilience. A gold-backed Punt, as championed by David Carroll, ensures domestic stability while retaining the euro for international trade. The Currency Act 1927 established the Punt, but its obsolescence post-2002 euro adoption, under Regulation EC/974/98, poses challenges. The Central Bank Act 1942 aligns the Central Bank with ECB policies, limiting currency issuance. EU treaties, like the TFEU, Article 3(4) and Maastricht Treaty 1992, mandate the euro as sole legal tender. Poland and Switzerland exemplify practical dual currency systems, with złoty and Swiss franc alongside euro acceptance in tourist areas. Reintroducing the Punt requires amending Irish laws and EU treaties, a daunting but achievable goal through a constitutional referendum, reflecting the Proclamation’s call for self-determination.
This dual system blends tradition with modern needs, ensuring Ireland’s economic sovereignty and shielding citizens from global volatility.
An Bille um Fuinneamh Núicléach na hÉireann
(Irish Nuclear Energy)
The Global Goals green agenda failed, as shown by the April 28, 2025, power outage across southern Europe, affecting Portugal, Spain, Andorra, and France. Caused by grid instability from over-reliance on renewables, it halted trains, closed airports, and strained hospitals, exposing policy flaws (2025 European power outage). Trillions in euros wasted on ineffective NGOs highlight misguided priorities. Marco Visscher notes nuclear fears, tied to old technology, are irrelevant to Ireland and we are relying on polluting diesel generators. Renewables are insufficient as Europe’s crisis proved, misalign with Ireland’s needs. Inspired by David Carroll, we propose the world’s first underground nuclear reactor—safe, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, using small modular reactors.
With 43% public support in 2021, this bill ensures reliable power, cuts costs, and rejects failed green policies, positioning Ireland as a leader in resilient energy solutions.
We name this world's first underground nuclear plant
"The Carroll Nuclar Power program".
An Bille um Chosaint Farraige na hÉireann
(Irish Sea Defence)
Táimíd Ireland proposes a bold reorientation of Ireland’s defence policy to safeguard national interests exclusively.
With the Irish Defence Forces at 7,557 active personnel (IDF-6,136, Navey-725), we advocate withdrawing from UN missions to focus on securing Ireland’s borders and seas.
Reports from GB UK News on June 1, 2025, highlighted over 1,000 daily illegal immigrants (400,000 annually) entering the UK, reflecting a similar challenge for Ireland.
To address this, Táimíd Ireland proposes modernizing the military by merging the Irish Defence Forces with the Naval Service, adopting a structure inspired by the U.S. Navy SEALs model, enabling rapid acquisition of advanced naval vessels to patrol Irish waters effectively. The current fleet, with vessels up to 41 years old, requires urgent upgrades to ensure maritime security.
This strategy prioritizes sovereignty, redirecting the €1.49 billion 2025 defence budget to bolster coastal defences and replace outdated equipment.
Táimíd’s vision strengthens Ireland’s neutrality, ensuring our forces protect national interests first, countering emerging threats with a robust, modernized military focused on homeland security.
An Bille um Aer Glan : Clár Foraoiseachta Carroll
(The Clean Air : Carroll Forestry Program)
The Clean Air , dubbed the Carroll Forestry Program, revolutionizes Ireland’s environmental strategy by incentivizing tree planting to combat greenhouse gases. It measures trees’ carbon filtration, capturing CO2 and monoxide while releasing oxygen, directly addressing emissions from livestock like cattle and sheep. Landowners, including farmers, will receive €10,000 annually to plant and maintain 1,000 trees on their land, promoting biodiversity and sustainable land use. Inspired by David Carroll’s vision, this bill rejects ineffective green policies, focusing on tangible climate solutions. It empowers rural communities, enhances air quality, and positions Ireland as a leader in practical, nature-based carbon reduction.
