International far-right groups taking inspiration from Irish violence against migrantsJames CoxInternational far-right organisations have taken inspiration from extremist violence against migrants in Ireland, according to an organisation that monitors global far-right movements. The report traces the legalisation of same-sex marriage and the abortion referendum, the far-right has been "gaining a foothold" in Ireland. Gpahe also point to an attempt by far-right parties in Ireland to amalgamate in what they called the 'National Alliance'. The report identified a number of far-right anti-immigrant groups active in Ireland including Anti-Corruption Ireland, Brotherhood of the Gaels, Ireland First, the Irish Freedom Party, We the People and Seed of Ireland. Gpahe co-founder and president Wendy Via said the fact Ireland has overwhelmingly rejected far-right parties in elections should not be "mistaken for immunity".
