Recent years have seen a rise in far-right activity and protest in Ireland, with an increase in the number of attacks and harassment episodes against minorities, as well as politicians, journalists and activists.

Addressing a lack of research on the subject, this book is the first to analyse the rapidly escalating situation. Contributions from diverse sources, including journalists and former Irish police officers, explore the fundraising and online activities of far-right groups in their opposition to the politics of gender, sexual diversity and multiculturalism. In exposing the rising threat from violent far-right actors, the book promotes a debate on how civil society can prevent and counteract the spread of such ideas.
