That IRA leader travelled to Germany with a Nazi spy who was doing Hitler's bidding in three Irish counties and, although the IRA Commander is a household name - even today, nine decades later - his association with genuine fascists is less well known.
Also, in the 1940's, other IRA leadership figures again made contact with German fascists, knowing that they were fascists ; indeed, one of the Nazi spies that the IRA involved themselves with in the 1930's was again involved in the 1940's plan.
This time, however, the IRA Commander died in the middle of the mission.
Today, 2025, there are people and groups in Ireland who consider themselves 'Irish republicans/left wingers' who repeat and cling to the anti-republican State Establishment narrative/script that those of us who oppose the 'Come-One-Come-All/Open Borders' migrant situation in this State are "far-right fascists and Nazis" while at the same time unaware of, deny or refuse to speak about, republican links with genuine far-right, fascists and Nazis!
We'll be naming the people mentioned above (re the events in the 1930's and 1940's), writing more about this issue and posting more Irish republican/far-right/Nazi links, comments, dates, locations etc, on Wednesday, 8th October 2025, as part of a 14-piece blog post we'll be putting up here.
See y'all back here then, hopefully!
Sharon and the team.
