The Independent Alliance (Irish: Comhghualaíocht Neamhspleách)[2] was an Irish political grouping formed in March 2015 by independent politicians. It was founded by Shane Ross and Michael Fitzmaurice. It was not a political party and stated that that it would not impose any whip on elected members except if the group agreed to support a government on confidence motions.[3] After the 2016 general election, its members became part of a minority government with Fine Gael and other non-aligned Independent ministers.
