Sinne Na Daoine, a newly formed far-right group in Ireland, aims to share information about alleged criminal activity committed by immigrants and potentially conduct local patrols. The organization's founder, Anthony Casey, claims to provide a 'watchdog tool' for communities, raising concerns about its potential for inciting discrimination and violence.
Last year saw the emergence of numerous groups sharing information about alleged criminal offending, and in some cases patrolling local areas
Sinne Na Daoine was founded by Anthony Casey, a former Courts Service registrar and a failed candidate for the far-right In a video since deleted from the organisation’s home page, Casey said: “If the Sinne Na Daoine banner goes up all people from all groups can answer the call. We need deterrence.” However, it has also caused disquiet in the Irish Freedom Party. Following the recent general election and its failure to return a single candidate, the party voted to expel Casey and another man involved in Sinne Na Daoine.
While Sinne Na Daoine’s activities appear to be mostly focused online for now, other anti-immigrant groups have started routinely patrolling local areas, often with the stated objective of protecting women and children from foreign nationals. “In Dromahair , there was checkpoints set up, cars were being stopped, being interrogated for ID; we saw that in Inch as well, where protesters ordered, demanded ID, took names, took details,” then Green Party TDHe alleged gardaí did nothing in response. The commissioner replied that gardaí cannot monitor all far-right communication channels.
An Garda Síochána did not respond to queries about the legality of these patrols or whether it is taking action to curb them.
