The New Ireland Group seeks an island, not only at peace with itself, but at peace both with our immediate neighbours and the rest of the world, as well as with our future generations. 

We long for a society which is based on a consensual democracy; a society which thrives to live by international human rights, an ethical trade policy, and a sustainable economy; a society which welcomes refugees from lands afflicted by wars and/or natural disasters; a society which plays no part in foreign wars such as that which is currently raging in Iraq; a society where peoples of both genders and all backgrounds share political power; a society which treasures the natural resources for which it is the guardian; a society which understands that the world is one, that everything is connected, and that our species will survive only if we, along with all other peoples, learn to live within sustainable parameters.
