Inside Ireland’s Rising Right

Episode 2

Investigative journalist, Paul Connolly, journeys deep inside right-wing Ireland meeting some of its most controversial figures in a series of no-holds-barred interviews. All have been accused of being far-right agitators, but are they? In this episode, we meet Hermann Kelly, leader of The Irish Freedom Party, and Philip Dwyer, a member of Ireland First. We’ll also ask why people have been protesting and holding blockages at buildings ear-marked to become centres for International Protection Applicants. What are their concerns? Are they being influenced by right-wing Ireland?
