This talk was delivered at the Irish National Party Summer Conference on July 4th, 2026. I want to thank everyone who made this event possible.

This is my first visit to Ireland. I didn’t come to see the Cliffs of Moher, the Guinness Storehouse, the Book of Kells, the Ring of Kerry, or the Blarney Stone. I came to see the Irish National Party. (more…)

Professor David Betz is an academic whose area of expertise includes civil war. His title is Professor of War in the Modern World, and he teaches at King’s College, London, a highly respected university. He has been doing the rounds on alternative media for the last year or so predicting that civil war, or some variant, is imminent not just in the UK but across Europe. Recently, he made an interesting comment. If civil war or something similar starts in Europe, it will start in Northern Ireland. (more…)

Post-Henry Nowak Policing

It is highly unlikely that anyone reading this does not by now know the name of Henry Nowak. Henry was an 18-year-old English student who died in police custody in December of last year after a false allegation of racism was made by his Sikh murderer, which meant that the attending police officers treated the crime scene as a racist incident rather than the stabbing attack that it was. I covered the details of Henry’s death here at Counter Currents, but I want to look at the consequences of this racist killing, both politically and in the media. (more…)

Time was that the only noticeable connection between Ireland and Africa was that Kofi Annan’s head looked like a pint of Guinness. Today, however, as I mentioned in my previous column, it turns out that Ireland’s newly globalized patron saint, St Patrick, is now also the presiding demi-deity of Nigeria too. How come?

Although Ireland famously never had any colonial empire, being a long-term white colony of London itself, it did once send many Catholic missionaries out across the world, including to Nigeria, where as a direct consequence around 15% of the native black population today genuflect towards Rome.

Earlier this month on Counter-Currents, I wrote about the Left-wing Irish ruling elite’s wretched attempts to transform the country’s main female religious icon, St Brigid, into the patron saint not of Ireland, but of abortion, lesbianism, and globalization. Then, on March 17, St Patrick’s Day arrived, and these very same godawful eejits decided to repeat exactly the same trick a second time. Their new victim was the nation’s chief male patron saint, St Patrick, who was spuriously reconfigured into the presiding deity of mass immigration, anti-colonialism, and “tolerance” in all its forms.

On Easter Monday, 1916, after hundreds of years of living under English rule, the Irish rose up against their oppressor. What became known as the Easter Rising (also the Easter Rebellion) lasted six days, and is still a source of pride to the fighting Irish. It was a bloody affair. Most of the leaders of the rebellion, men such as Thomas Plunkett and James Connolly, were executed, and hundreds of rebels were interned both in Ireland and England. Many died in the conflict, including heavy losses on the English side. Those redcoats learned what a lot of people have learned since; if you are going to fight an Irishman, you had better be good with your fists. (more…)

St. Patrick’s Day is near, the international celebration of all it means to be Irish. But what, precisely, does it mean to be Irish today? To not actually be Irish at all, if you can possibly help it—particularly not in terms of the nation’s once-dominant religion.

It is not so long ago that “Auld Ireland” was the most traditionalist Catholic nation in Western Europe, but that is no longer the case. (more…)

The culture wars are very real, and the best proof of their existence is that the Left-wing mainstream media regularly claim that they are not. That there is some level of cultural conflict between the establishment Left and their useful idiots, and the dissenters, is ridiculed as a far-Right fever-dream. What does the current Left-wing government make of these supposed culture wars? (more…)

Keith Woods, ed.
Irish Nationalism: Essential Writings: Volume 1
Cloverhill Publishing, 2025

Compiling and publishing a trove of lesser-known nationalist treatises is essentially a political act which bears a resonance for the modern day. Presentism inflects all our writing, no matter how much we try to think objectively about the past. (more…)

Achilles Dragging the Body of Hector on His Chariot – Giulio Romano, 1538

Thomas D’Arcy McGee was born in Carlingford, Ireland on April 13, 1825. From a young age, he was fascinated with Irish history and folklore. At age 17, he crossed the Atlantic for the first time, settling in Boston, Massachusetts in 1842 where he found a job as an editor of The Boston Pilot, a Catholic newspaper run by the Irish diaspora in New England.

The last time I was in Ireland, a little under a year ago now, I made it a point to avoid Dublin. I don’t say this to offend any Dubs. The main reason I didn’t want to set foot Dublin is because I didn’t want to see how bad things have got in the “fair city”. I’m not really fond of big cities, generally, but many years ago, I spent quite a lot of time in Dublin and I did grow fond of the place. (more…)

Every nation likes to be best in the world at something. As things stand, we Irish Potato Negroes are world leaders in burning refugee centres without hurting anyone. Nobody comes even close to us. The prize for burning refugee centres with refugees inside goes to the Israelis, of course, but that is not a sport we want to indulge in.  (more…)
