Two articles in the Irish Times have commented on the launch of Patricia’s campaign, quoting her saying that the main political parties have lost touch with the public and that the people need an alternative.

Patricia intends to provide those in Dublin with an alternative voice in Europe. The paper goes on to quote her stating that her campaign would be “the least expensive European campaign in the capital", but added that she believed it is important "to provide an alternative to voters.”

RTÉ quotes Patricia stating: “People need a strong voice independent of Government and the political establishment now more than ever.”
