The Irexit Freedom party, inspired by the UK’s Brexit vote, will be launched at an event in the Irish capital this afternoon.
The anti-EU party hopes to field candidates in next year’s European Parliament elections and Ireland’s general election in 2021.
Hermann Kelly, the party’s spokesman, compared the EU to a “colonial master” as he urged Irish voters to back the new movement.
In an interview with Express.co.uk, he said: “The Irexit Freedom party stands for taking back control of Irish affairs.
“Like Brexit, we want to take back control of our money, our laws and our borders.
“We want Ireland to be a sovereign independent state outside the EU, as Britain will be when it leaves.
“Ireland is now a net contributor to the EU budget – Brussels takes a huge amount of wealth from our economy.
“The EU has become a colonial master which doesn’t stand up for our national interests. These people aren’t our friends.”
