Those who want to see a new government in Ireland to cut immigration and break ties with globalist elites need to “reach across the Atlantic” and seek help from the Irish diaspora in the US Maga movement Eddie Hobbs told a conference on Saturday. Participants in the sessions, which were all moderated by Mr Hobbs, a financial adviser-turned podcaster and campaigner, included Independent Dublin councillor Malachy Steenson, entrepreneur Declan Ganley and Independent senator Sharon Keogan. The conference was billed as “a solutions-driven public conference” with host Mr Hobbs and guests “speaking on the issues Ireland faces today”. Mr Hobbs has featured on Mr Bannon’s War Room podcast. “The mainstream media is the North Korea of Europe,” Mr Hobbs told Mr Bannon when he appeared on his show last June and was asked to explain why there was no major populist right-wing movement in Ireland.
