The Irish Unionist Party (IUP) is a minor unregistered centre-right unionist all-Ireland political party, with no elected representatives. It claims to campaign both sides of the border on the island of Ireland.[1][2]
The party was founded in 2020 by Kilkenny-born teenager and farmer Tristan Morrow,[3] who states that he is descended from Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh.[4] The party supports Irish unification through the reunification of the Republic of Ireland with the United Kingdom,[2] opposes membership of the European Union, and is anti abortion.[5][1]
In November 2021 the party's founder said that it had "twenty to thirty" members, with the majority aged in their 20s and from County Clare and County Limerick.[2]
The party uses Saint Patrick's Saltire on its stickers and the slogan 'Restore our Kingdom'. The party's founder reportedly told the Irish Sun that it would be "on the ballot box" for the next Irish general election.[2][6]
