Hotelier Ann Sweeney will once again contest the general election in Donegal South-West as an independent candidate. She withdrew from the constituency's November 2010 by-election just days before the polls, stating that the election was a farce at a time when Ireland was in need of a national government.

Policies

• Asset recovery of gas and oil off Donegal and western seaboard
• No to the bank bailout. Recapitalisation of the credit union movement to create a people's bank
• Local provision of cancer services and free universal healthcare
