Irish Anti-Immigrant Groups Collaborating with NI Loyalists and UK Neo-Nazis

Irish anti-immigration campaigners are collaborating with British nationalists and Ulster loyalists, according to a new report by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue. The report highlights how Irish anti-immigration figures have engaged with former-UVF members and joined loyalists in protests.

Zoe Manzi, an analyst at ISD, noted that Irish nationalists and Northern Irish loyalists are uniting around anti-migrant narratives, indicating a shift in ideological lines. The report draws parallels between this collaboration and how Islamist and far-right groups can promote similar conspiracy theories despite their differences.

The report also mentions instances where far-right British nationalist Tommy Robinson was welcomed by Irish nationalist figures, showcasing the growing anti-migrant movement across the island. It warns of an emerging cross-border infrastructure for anti-migrant mobilization, evident in recent protests and riots against immigrants.

International far-right groups have also been using protests in Ireland to push fringe agendas, with ties to UK neo-Nazi networks and Russian-aligned propaganda outlets. The report cautions against the influence of these groups in Ireland's political discourse.
