‘In reality, it’s still a tiny number of people.’ We should be careful about ‘talking up the influence of a few headbangers’ when it comes to the rise of the FarRight in Ireland. BKNT
presenter Shane Coleman, who was speaking after European Law Professor Ronan McCrea questioned whether Ireland’s ‘flirtation with liberalism’ was coming to an end.the University of London Professor said Ireland had been a standard-bearer for social liberalism over the last 20 years – but suggested recent anti-immigrant protests could signify a shift towards more conservative thinking.Shane said he would be sceptical about the ‘rise of the right’ in Ireland.
“I mean, you can never be complacent and say it could never happen here - clearly history has taught us that - but let’s see what the people who represent those views get in the next general election.Shane also suggested that there are those on the left who are happy to see a rise in right-wing views.
“I don’t want that kind of politics. I want politics to remain in the centre. I hope that remains the case. I think it will remain the case.”Fellow presenter Ciara Kelly agreed with Shane – noting that “there is something of the bogeyman” in claims the far-right is on the rise in Ireland.
