Lisdoonvarna, County Clare: 31.7% Irish
Ballyhaunis, County Mayo: 33.6% Irish
Saggart, County Dublin: 39.4% Irish
Edgeworthstown, County Longford: 44.1% Irish
Ballymahon, County Longford: 47.3% Irish
Longford, County Longford: 48.3% Irish
Not a single Irish right-winger, no matter how anti-British they were, has ever tried to encourage migrants to cross the Channel. Genuinely most evil and treacherous post I have seen on here for a while.
Ireland did not "more than any other society in human history" benefit from immigration, it suffered more than any other society in human history from emigration, the casting away of millions of its people to never return and a demographic calamity that's unrecoverable.
I've been around enough time to remember the Irish online RW being so downbeaten after Repeal in 2018 that it was making sarcastic remarks about becoming Orangemen. Who would have thought that this is what the future would bring?
Gets worse for SF the more you read
53% of Sinn Féin voters believe that immigration has been a negative for Ireland.
38% of Sinn Féin voters would be more likely to vote for an anti-immigration candidate.
77% of Sinn Féin voters would be concerned about a local asylum centre.
Imagine saying 30 years ago that a former member of the Workers' Party would be elected as an anti-immigration, Irish Republican councillor in inner city Dublin while Sinn Féin members call people who have tricolours on their election posters far-right.
Results in Wicklow LEA (includes Newtownmountkennedy). Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil both plummeting. As things stand, the two independent candidates who supported the Newtown Says No protests will both get in.
You can show a "Socialist Republican" art like this and they'll reject it entirely as Catholic gobbledygook but we're duty bound to accept Communist murals as the true authentic expression of an almost 250-year tradition.
We don't want to go back to the Ireland of 2004 or 1990 or 1954. We want the Ireland our forefathers wanted but never knew and we have never known it ourselves. An Irish Ireland.
@Oillipheista
Who wants to return to the Ireland of 2004? That country is gone, it's in the past. Conservatism should be forward looking, not backwards looking.
Updated map for local elections. There are nationalist/anti-immigration candidates now running in 35 out of 166 LEAs. In a handful of seats (Ballymun-Finglas, Buncrana, Newbridge), several candidates are running.
The Irish have lived in Glasgow for as long as Irish people have lived in Boston, but Irish Scots don't get anywhere near the same vitriol from socialists that Irish Americans do, which tells you that their hatred for Irish America is political and nothing to do with tourists.

I can't remember where I saw this from but someone made the point that most young people's politics (that is in Europe) revolve around existential dread, either of impending environmental catastrophe, economic collapse or demographic replacement.
Three newly elected councillors to Dublin City Council, Malachy Steenson, Gavin Pepper and Independent Ireland's Philip Sutcliffe (Conor McGregor's childhood boxing coach) already subject to a cordon sanitaire from other parties, including Sinn Féin, for being anti-immigration.
NP officially elected in Blanchardstown. Along with IFP's Glen Moore in Palmerstown-Fonthill, these are the first radical right candidates elected to public office in Ireland since 1945.
Unconfirmed and subject to recount, but it looks like the NP's Patrick Quinlan is going to take the fifth and final seat in Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart, level with PBP and twenty votes ahead of Fine Gael.
Nationalism is when you make up fake grievances about people calling Ireland "Éire" and Irish "Gaelic" but say nothing about Dublin being 25% foreign-born.
Dublin LEAs/districts:
North Inner City: 36.5% Irish
Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart: 41.6% Irish
South East Inner City: 48.3% Irish
South West Inner City: 49.0% Irish
The reality is that there is no emerging Catholic nationalist majority in the Six Counties. Migration accounted for nearly half of the North's population growth in the past decade. The Catholic percentage of Belfast actually declined since 2011.
If you’re a liberal, you get to quote Irish nationalists from 100 years ago until your heart’s content but when we do it, all of a sudden it’s no longer as authoritative and it’s an American fad.

The final map for anti-immigration candidates competing in the 2024 local elections.
159 candidates competing in 112 LEAs, around two-thirds of the country.
A big word salad refuting arguments you made up to say that you refuse to talk about the biggest issue in the country because of some weird parochial mentality that the only true Irishmen live in Divis Flats.
Reader - when I say this is a face that has not seen hardship...
Twink ass looking bastard. Nose never broken. Clear skin. Healthy looking teeth, hair, eyes. Soft-boy lips. Nary a scar nor belmish to be seen.

Posh little fucking Nazi whelp.
The Irish Freedom Party is proposing 50 year intergenerational mortgages as a means of tackling the housing crisis, which may be the singular worst policy ever put forward in Irish politics
In her 2002 election leaflet for Dublin South-Central, Áine Ní Chonaill of Immigration Control Platform predicted that in a decade, the foreign-born population of Dublin would reach 20%. Sure enough, Dublin City was 21.1% foreign-born by 2011.
‘I cannot tell the difference between a nation and a nation state’ is an even funnier progression from listing Norman surnames to prove that people who are 90%+ genetically Irish are the same as Algerian IPAS applicants.
@TomOHanlon17
@PoblachtDhearg
It's arguable that Ireland has never been a nation, as we perceive what a nation is today.
Before we were invaded by various cohorts from Britain and Europe we were kicking the shit out of each other for fun.
Anti-immigration candidates won 8.7% of the vote in Dublin City Council today, as high as 20.8% in Ballymun-Finglas and 14.9% in North Inner City. Vote should be enough to return at least three councillors.
‘The Nice People are the Dublin liberal middle class and their allies and supporters throughout the country. The Rednecks are everyone else.’ - Desmond Fennell.
Spent some time last night trying to understand why the white nationalist rally in Dublin yesterday featured an NYPD flag. Turns out some form of 'blue lives matter' symbolism is a thing in American nationalist gatherings 1/3
His 1972 pamphlet "A New Nationalism For The New Ireland", which was originally a lecture in Monaghan promoting the Éire Nua policy, is probably my favourite writing of his. Pray that the future does him justice.
Desmond Fennell was right on pretty much everything and predicted our current predicament decades in advance. Arguably the best Irish thinker of the past few decades.
The State of the Nation is an incredible book.
"The British colonised us and we are now coming back to a land where the British are, and we are also coming to lead."
Irish people in an Irish city must suffer because Kenyan Senators with bogus asylum seekers for sisters don't know (or frankly care) that we're not British.
So many of these fascist creeps in Ireland are just West Brit losers who hate their own country as much as they hate immigrants. Any Irish person who joined the British Army has absolutely no right to call themselves a patriot.
Can't be underestimated how incredible results in North Inner City and Blanchardstown are, areas where around half the population are foreign-born and in an election cycle where non-citizens could vote.
With a few notable exceptions, results outside of Dublin were very poor and only in a handful of cases did it exceed 5%. Ireland must be the only contemporary country in Europe where anti-immigration sentiment and right-wing support is strongest in its capital.
Pubs should ideally be closed on St. Patrick's Day (they were in Ireland until the 1970s). If people want to get hammered on March 16, that's whatever, but the date of Ireland's national holiday shouldn't be associated with drunkenness.
Too many people seem to be of the impression that the immigration problem is strictly to do with the asylum crisis and not public discontent about the levels of immigration over the past two decades finally boiling over.
Unless someone Community Notes this (he keeps posting it), reminder that this is an IRA mural in 1980s Belfast and that both the IRA and its political wing, Sinn Féin, were proscribed organisations in the Republic of Ireland and have never governed the country post-Civil War. 🧵
- Immigration highest rate in two decades
- Foreign-born proportion of population now over one million
- Asylum seeker population up by almost 50% from last year
- Less than 100 of 7,300 people refused asylum deported
A big surge for NP in Blanchardstown from Suzanne Delaney's elimination. Has eliminated a second Sinn Féin candidate and put them ahead of Aontú. Just eight votes separate them from PBP.
These are the people really angry at the protestors for having tricolours at protests when here they are wanting to take it down from the mast to appease the very loyalists they accuse the protestors of being in league with.
AIA’s Position on Elections set out in the May edition of An Phoblacht Abú, and giving an outline of the Revolutionary Republican Alternative.

It took seven years for people to figure out Stonetoss's real identity and it won't even matter since the dude's so rich off NFTs he may never have to work a day in his life again.
You should keep posting your revenge fantasies about how you want to foment mass immigration into Europe, especially towards countries who (rightfully) don't like you.
@rafahsuckz
@oteycoueye
much as the Irish deserve these horrid people, it’s better for global civilization if they stay in the Arab/Muslim world in perpetuity
but IF they HAVE to go to Europe…. Dublin it is
I wouldn’t wish it on Belfast, lots of amazing pro-Israel protestants there
Two of our leading political enemies on this island were forced to resign in humiliating fashion. Things can literally not be going better for us right now.
Must be awkward for the Irish far right that in the past week on this island a gay POC stepped down as party leader for normal personal / political reasons while the straight white leader of a conservative family values party had to step down because of R̶E̶D̶A̶C̶T̶E̶D̶.
True, Wolfe Tone is the father of Irish republicanism and one of the greatest men the Irish nation ever had. Sucks for you he wasn't a weird "proto-Maoist" or whatever cope term you people will come up with.
If you see this post, you have been visited by JOLLYMAXXED Irish patriots, good luck and prosperity will come to all patriots tomorrow but only if you post "GOD SAVE IRELAND."
It was written by Irish monks either in Kells itself or on Iona, founded by an Irish saint off the coast of a country that to this day has its name meaning “Land of the Irish”. Why don’t you argue that St. George was Turkish?
If you are not convinced yet of how little this weirdo cares about this country or its history, it is worth pointing out that he wanted to rename Trinity's Berkeley Library not after past nationalist alumni like Wolfe Tone or Thomas Davis, but after Thomas Sankara.
You're right, it's bad when tourists (of course, he solely means Americans here) spend money trying to be appreciative of Irish culture. True Irishmen like you emigrate and never come back.
I went to Trinity and I’ll tell you this: we all hated that stupid fucking Book of Kells and the head-wrecking tourists who would crowd the college to go see it. They’ll be alright, send them to the leprechaun museum instead
Strong lesson here against vote splitting. Combined, the anti-immigration vote is 14% and would top the poll, and if it strengthens still they would have probably reached the quota.
Here’s the situation in Ballymun Finglas with 16 of 50 boxes tallied - strong vote for Fianna Fáil and PBP, Soc Dems. Sinn Féin will be happy enough with Leslie Kane. Gavin Pepper taking more votes than some may have expected
#LE24
The foreign-born population in the Six Counties grew at a rate four times faster than the growth of the Catholic population. It made up nearly half of the total population growth in the past decade. This of course has no ramifications for any border poll!
NP's John McGrath on nearly 4% in Cashel-Tipperary, a seven-seater. Currently, he's ninth with 35% of boxes still to count. First strong performance of theirs outside of Dublin and if his votes strengthens in last stretch, he could be in with a chance.
Ballymun-Finglas has significantly improved. Now, the anti-immigration vote is at a combined 20% (Pepper 7.4%, NP 6.2%, Leon Bradley 5.4% and Jeff Gallagher 1.7%). Pepper's chance of election up significantly now.
No spin doctor with a straight face can explain away the fact that some of the most diverse (or rather least Irish) communities in the country returned some of the strongest anti-immigration votes and what that says about the extreme unease these communities have about change.
Can't be underestimated how incredible results in North Inner City and Blanchardstown are, areas where around half the population are foreign-born and in an election cycle where non-citizens could vote.
Fun fact: Derek Blighe’s 873 votes is more than Sinn Féin’s 729. Can you please explain how Derek Blighe won more votes than the party meant to become our next Government?
More proof that this account has the mind of a 50 year old Gen Xer in a 20-something year old's body. Nobody draped themselves in the German flag upon winning a council seat. You should go back to editing wrestling videos.
Irish nationalists: I don't give a fuck about Palestine! Stop sticking your noses in other countries' business, Ireland is the only country we should care about🇮🇪🇮🇪
Also Irish nationalists: AUSLÄNDER RAUS🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
The two main parties, the IFP and NP are actually quite distinct, ideologically, tactically and demographically. Controlled migration vs remigration, leaving the EU vs nationalist reform of the EU, IFP activists mostly over age of 40 vs NP activists largely under age of 40.
It's very easy to say in the wake of these results that moving forward the parties should unite under one banner as some confederation but the results have ultimately done nothing to change the formless anarchic nature of the populist right in Ireland.
“Ireland for the Irish” means primarily and mainly... first, Irishmen fixed upon Irish ground, and growing there, occupying the island like trees in a living forest with roots stretching as far towards Tartarus as their heads lift themselves towards the clouds."
You do realise that mass immigration is not just a policy of the Free State government but also that of the British Government in the North? You would actually argue that opposing the policy of the British state is falling for MI6 tricks.
Importantly it also outright refuses to speak on the fact that anti-immigration sentiment is a tool of the British state to divide Ireland, rather just referring to a platitude of division; such as the many British affiliated "Irish" "Patriots" who attended the march in Dublin.
Of the minor parties, the IFP and NP both had reasonably successful days (the latter especially in the face of everything in the past year), the Irish People had mixed results and Ireland First was very underwhelming.
NOW: Taoiseach Simon Harris tells the Dáil that there is "no disguising" that inward migration and the scale of increase is "posing challenges for communities and societies across Ireland."
"We have a duty to engage with people on the realities we are facing," he says.
Nearly 60% of their inner city is non-Irish. You have probably never had to speak to a Protestant until you became an adult. You know everyone on your street, they know almost nobody on theirs.
A young Dubliner who never skipped over a rubber bullet tries to validate her patriotism by binning an occupied, genocided, starving countries flag, put there by real Irish people who care about children and innocent people. May life humble you
@CeltEire
Lmfao I muted you after that dopey "would you join Hamas" comment, I clicked to reveal this reply against my better judgment.
More migrant healthcare workers means a better, quicker health service for all citizens, including the working class. Here's an example! Good enough?
❌BREAKING❌ - Please share
Shocking scenes tonight in Ballyogan as gardai beat and arrest decent concerned locals who are protesting against huge numbers of migrants getting bussed into their area tonight 😳
This is the stuff of a revolution 🇮🇪

Yes, the college of the Protestant Ascendancy shouldn’t have the Book of Kells. That doesn’t mean I’m going to support a Hungarian Marxist and his friends risking damaging or destroying it to antagonise public opinion in the most pro-Palestinian country in Europe.
Trinity College have been charging a fortune mainly to Yanks to see the Book of Kells for decades. It has never been "accessible". If you sincerely want that, then tell TCD to donate it to the National Museum.
It looks like these British loyalist

@RoscreaHurling

@officialgaa
) distancing itself from them & their actions.
Nobody thinks that SF are in Government and nobody cares that they're not in Government. They were the opposition to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, and instead of standing against them on immigration, they only wanted them to go further. Their fault!
These people's only frame of reference for the world around them is annoying Jamie Bryson. I don't know how utterly divorced from reality you have to be to go "Who cares?" about a nationalist town becoming 35% foreign-born in just two decades.
@goat_poaster
Who cares about towns, its the grand total & the trend that matters.
The ONLY demographic unionism has a majority is the over 60's
Their days are numbered, as are their days of making more mini unionists 👶
Its all over from 2030 onwards, the only question is by what margin.
These people cannot say "I think mass immigration is good" because 72% of their own voters don't agree and they can't be seen agreeing with a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil government's policy on anything so all they can resort to is this.
Here’s a flavour of the type of account liking tweets from the so called “Irish patriots”.
Patriots my hole. They’re just British fascist proxies in Ireland.
‘Who can tell what a world of noble passion has been set aglow; what haughty aspirings for themselves and their ancient land; what infinite pity; what hot shame for the trampled country and the dishonoured name of their fathers; what honest, wistful rage?’
Members of Republicans Against Antifa were active in Milltown Cemetery recently, reclaiming our heritage from Red traitors.
The name and history of Irish Nationalism has been corrupted, usurped and re-written by an alphabet soup collection of Marxist groupings for far too long.
You people actually seem to be quite ignorant of Irish history. Kneecap seem to thinks that Thomas Davis, who died in 1845, was in the IRB. I'm not going to be lectured by people who're that ignorant on a fundamental level.
Ireland was spared mass racist politics until recently because our national tradition was based on solidarity rather than exclusion. Those who actually fought and died for Ireland would be disgusted at racist "patriots" aping their Anglo-American counterparts.
The development of Ireland into a full-blown more-or-less officially antisemitic state and society is quite something. If we should start boycotting anywhere, it should be the hate-filled little rogue state to our west
I think the more concerning thing in the news right now regarding the Defence Forces is the fact that Irishmen and women stationed in Lebanon are facing imminent Israeli invasion when relations between Ireland and Israel could not be worse right now.
As far as I am aware, deadline for local election nominations has either already passed or will pass by the end of this week. As things stand, what would be termed as the "far right" is set for an unprecedented breakthrough not seen in Ireland since the Second World War. 🧵
I've found Northern Irish TikTok. Somehow chicken is always involved, and everyone is deranged or has received a lobotomy for their derangement. A fascinating people.
A map of anti-immigration candidates running in the local elections. The NP and Farmers' Alliance have not yet announced candidates. Still subject to change.
So far, there are 23 candidates running:
15 IFP
5 Independents
2 Ireland First
1 Saor Éire
Pretty early tallies coming in but from what I've seen:
Steenson is doing respectably well in parts of NIC that he wouldn't really be expected to do that well in
Dwyer's polling well in Tallaght (6% in one box)
IFP on 7% in Clare
Still feels we are no nearer than before to a unified vision for an Irish right than we were, say, in 2018. The obvious model for a nationalist movement is a traditional, grounded nationalism modelled off the original SF and Gaelic League.
It's just not tenable for at least half a dozen different factions to be competing against each other for the same voter base. Unless one faction can break away from the others or there is greater organisation, they'll end up with something like 4-5% of national vote and 0 seats.
"No traction in working class communities" is a bare faced lie and hilarious coming from dissident republicans who could only dream of having even a fraction of the support in places like East Wall that the anti-immigration protests do.
Republican activists in Galway and across the state have been removing fascist propaganda posters.
Though funded from Britain and America these tiny fascist organisations have no traction in working class communities and it must be kept that way.
No Pasaran- Smash Fascism
My favourite Arthur Griffith moment was when he said that Irish republican MPs should take their seats in Westminster while Irish civilians were being murdered by the British Army. No wait, that was Costello, ah never mind, get them mixed up all the time 😅
-Supported Syrian refugees arriving into Ireland.
-Signatory to an "Anti-Racism" Protocol organised by far-left NGOs.
-Oppose protests outside Direct Provision centres.
-Ogra Aontú's position is that the Direct Provision system is "inhumane".
NO VOTES! NO TRANSFERS!
The NP won 7.4% in Blanchardstown and are neck-in-neck with the PBP for the final seat, 6% in Finglas which allowed Gavin Pepper to be elected and a strong 5% in Tallaght from the leader of their youth wing. That's a miraculous recovery from where they were this time last year.
>Be Québec separatists
>Have worst result in party's history
>Lose out primarily on the issue of immigration
>Decide to outflank the government by saying they want even less immigration
>Now largest party in polling
Interesting lesson to be learned here for Sinn Féin
