Manage episode 478370726 series 2930202
Last Tuesday in Conor McGregor’s Black Forge Inn, the Irish Far Right were out in force. It was a celebration after a day showing US broadcaster Tucker Carlson around. He had arrived in Ireland to interview McGregor.
But all is not what it seemed: the Irish far right are divided with splits and divisions multiplying since last year’s local and general elections.
But why? What has happened to their common goals and political ambitions? McGregor has pledged to contest the upcoming presidential elections on an anti-immigration platform so is he, with his fortune and global recognition, a unifying force or a divisive one?
Conor Gallagher, Irish Times crime and security correspondent explains.
Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.
