Caoimhín Ó Dubhthaigh List (Ghaillish: Liosta Caoimhín Ó Dubhthaigh, LCOD) is a political alliance of nine parties in Caldia.

The alliance was founded in March 2022 in the lead up to the 2022 election. Caldish media personality Caoimhín Ó Dubhthaigh announced this formation of his own political party on 18 February. Afterwards, he met with leaders from parties at a regional and local level in order to set up a joint-list. Eight additional parties joined the alliance. During the campaign, the parties worked together at a local level in order to build support for the list.

Former Liberty Party leader Pádraig Mac Piarais announced he had defected to Stop the Theft!, a member of the list, on 11 May.

At the 12 June election, LCOD won five seats on the open list and received 2.51% of the list vote. In addition to its representation in the Tionól, the alliance has eight members on Caldia's regional councils.

Composition

LCOD consists of nine political parties. Of these parties, four have seats in the Tionól: Caoimhín Ó Dubhthaigh Party with two, and the New Democrats, Shanbally Interest, and Stop the Theft! all have one each.
