Today an Irish TD Carol Nolan tear-filled made a speech in parliament (found it on fb) putting some things on record before resigning from Fianna Fail partyliners. Latest days there has been reports also on plans for actually get into action a not-defiled party appealing to the 700 000+ voters for the children in the wombs. Will such a party manage to get alive and kicking before long with support from at least half of these voters next election? What will be its worst hinders?

Hi Thomas. This topic has been discussed by many people in Ireland and is a topic that has come up here on occasion.
We have a right of centre pro life party Renua which has no parliament seats and probably will never have. The former 2 Sinn Fein TDs, expelled for defending unborn Irish children, may set up a left of centre party which might pick up a couple of extra seats if it is lucky.
The main opposition party Fianna Fail is officially pro life even though its leader and several front bench spokespeople opposed this policy and campaigned publically for abortion when the referendum was called. These TDs almost all were elected as "pro lifers"!
The right of centre government party is now fanatically pro choice. It will restrict conscience rights for objecting medics , ban protests outside abortion facilities and wil enact what is basically abortion on demand up to 6 months and in certain cases even afterwards. Tax payers will pay for these free services even though this was denied during the campaign.
This party's leader Leo Varadkar was pro life 2 or 3 years ago. The fanatically pro abortion Health minister Simon Harris was pro life too when last elected. Most of the current government were pro life at the last election but betrayed that promise and did the complete opposite. Now that the people have spoken in the referendum TDs ignore and indeed betray their original promises and the 700,000 who object to killing our future generations in the womb.
In Ireland if you vote pro choice you get what you want. If you voted pro life the chance is your representative has turned coats and voted yes to abortion too.
Not only is this law evil it is also an example of how corrupt and dishonest our political class is.

Thanks for brief notes Cato! The word used above, partyliners would be all wrong then. It was not the impression when listening to the speech by this almost singular admirable exception from the party fold (if I got it right this time) Carol Nolan. If most major players in these parties has fallen so low as simply trading truth for lies as they like, more or less continue to foil their own promises 360 degrees and get away with it, perhaps the odds for a new broad party paradoxically gets better. But will any sane-styled party make it with old good politics into the insane 21th century??
