Did you know? Aontú was founded in 2019 by Peadar Tóibín, a former Sinn Féin member; the party focuses heavily on social issues like healthcare and family welfare. And, speaking of healthcare, it's interesting to note that Ireland has one of the highest rates of mental health issues in Europe, making Maureen's focus on mental wellness all the more vital!
