Independents 4 Change,[1] previously known as Independents for Equality Movement, is an Irish political grouping registered as a political party since 2014.[2] Its registered officer is Wexford TD Mick Wallace.[3]

Four candidates contested the 2014 local elections for the group in each of the local electoral areas in Wexford County Council.[4] None of them were elected.

Sitting TDs Mick Wallace,[5] Clare Daly,[5] Joan Collins,[6] and Tommy Broughan,[7] and councillor Barry Martin[5] contested the 2016 general election for Independents 4 Change, with Broughan, Collins, Daly and Wallace being elected.

On 14 April 2016, Wallace referred to two further independent TDs, Catherine Connolly and Thomas Pringle, as being part of the Independents 4 Change Dáil grouping,[8] but both deputies remained listed as non-party TDs on the Oireachtas register.[9]
