Irish Facists sentenced to prison.
The Celtic Wolves Summer camp came to an abrupt end when Gardai arrive on the scene in Wicklow on September 9th last. Six pissed nazis were sat around a camp fire in the Ballinastoe woods wearing Doc Marten boots and combats. Flags decorating the campsite included an Afrikaner supremacist flag, a swastika, a celtic wolves flag (a tricolour with a celtic cross and wolf on it) and a plain old celtic cross on a black background. When the Gardai arrived and instructed the assembled group to move on the three non-irish Celtic Wolves!!!!!!!!, duly obeyed. The three Irish were more reluctant (or more pissed) and failed to move. All six were cahrged with distribution/possesion of material that was threatening and abusive and other public order offences. The foreigners Miroslav Dombai, Frantisek Janostak and Frantisek Julius had their charges dismissed. The Irish were convicted Denis Kavanagh 32 of 58 Main Stree, Wicklow got two months in prison and fined 600 euros, Kieran McNeill 19 Clonthread, Moate, Co. Westmeath got the same both appealed and were released on 3000 euro bail. Jack Cummins Ballyfaskin, Ballylanders, Limerick had his case adjourned to December 5 after a medical cert was handed in on his behalf.
Follow the action at Wicklow District court on December 5th when the last of the accused appears again.

Yes, the South of Ireland has been blessed by the "quality" of its far right. A handful of oddballs basically.
Of course, that hasn't always been the case. The Blueshirts in the 1930s were one of the largest fascist movements in the world to fail to take state power. But since the demise of that movement and its much weaker offshoot, the Greenshirts and National Corporate Party, there has been no fascist movement to speak of. There is also no guarantee that the situation will always remain like this. Ireland in recent years has gone from a country with little or no immigration to a country with about 10% of its population born abroad. Racism and anti-immigrant sentiment is quite widespread. A vaguely competent far right organisation could build a cadre. But it's hard to build a group based on a handful of misfits.
I would guess that the most serious far right elements aren't the neo-nazi nutcases of the Celtic Wolves, but the ultra-conservative Catholics around Youth Defence or the former Sinn Fein Ard Comhairle member McGeough.

Yeah I agree but this can be overstated. McGeough should be watched carefully. But his mag has folded and he's fallen out with Justin Barret from what I can tell. As for Youth Defense, as bonkers and utterly shit as htey maybe they aren't fascist our even all that right wing. They're just a militant pro-life group. I used to be friends with some of them and they called themselves socialist republicans, they were even sound on immigration etc. The 'De Faoite' family is, as you probably know, the Irps 'White' family.
Ultimately we should be vigilant but I don't think there's a real treat of any group in existence in today growing.

Apologies that this is my first post, I regularly flick through threads on various left-wing forums. But I had to comment on this thread. As a former member of the RSM in Dublin, I'd have to ask about this 'white' family that is connected to the 'Irps' and the 'De Faoite' family, a family I have never heard of before. Is this echoing of Sunday Tabloids terrible 'journalism', or whispers eminating from left organisations or have I taken this up completely wrong? Either way I'd appreciate a reply.
As far as McGeough goes, it'll be easy to keep an eye on him these days seen as he is locked up.

Not important but there was a republican family the whites that was around the setting up of the Irps. Two prominent people being Johnny White in Derry and Larry White in Cork.
Larry White's family is Eoghan De Faoite's family, which is intermarried with the Mathuna family. (In case you don't know De Faoite is the gaelicised version of White.)
By the by as I said I used to hang around with a number of people from this family and thats so my info comes from them and asking other people about them. So while this is all pretty close to being first hand information, some of it could always be wrong. To be honest I don't think it matters all that much at all. My point was simply that Youth Defence while barmy and containing fascist elements is not a cascist organisation.
