Some 1,400 people have signed up to the new political party being established by former Sinn Féin and anti-abortion TD Peadar Tóibín.
Mr Tóibín sent a letter to supporters this afternoon informing them that he has also picked a name for the party. It is understood he is in the process of registering that name both north and south, and will reveal it in the coming days.
