Politics

In April 2015, Deeter described himself as an "espouser of old-style liberal economic laissez-faire", although acknowledged the need for the state to intervene in instances of market failure.[1]

Ethics Officer of Renua

In the Spring of 2015, Deeter became the "Ethics Officer" of the newly created political party Renua, which had just split off from Fine Gael.[4] Although an official with the party, Deeter stated he was not a member of the party.[4] In June 2016 Deeter resigned as Renua's Ethics Officer; Deeter quit after he "encountered obstacles" while investigating claims that businessman and founder of the conservative anti-EU party Libertas.eu Declan Ganley had loaned Renua money.[5]
