Fathers' Rights-Responsibility Party was an Irish political party, led by Liam Ó Gógáin and formed in 2007. It was not registered with the clerk of Dáil Éireann and thus, when it contested the 2007 general election, its 8 candidates ran as independents.[2] They polled 1,355 first preference votes in total in that election and did not win any seats.[2] [3] The party campaigned on fathers' rights issues in Ireland,[4] arguing that there were "injustices against fathers within the courts system".[2]
