In a lengthy live-stream on her social media profile on Tuesday night, Ms Wall praised Robinson and said she would give him “100 blessings to come here”. Mr Blighe, a regular presence at anti-immigration protests across the country, claimed that if Robinson wanted to come to Ireland to film the “success” of the Irish anti-immigration movement, “I have no problem with that”. But Derek Blighe, a Corkman who live-streams his far-right political views, argued that Robinson “wants to protect his country in the same way I want to protect my country”. No one’s accommodated me. No one’s invited me. Robinson claims he has been drawn to Ireland by a recent spate of anti-immigrant protests, which he has warmly praised and the Irish far-right agitators who are helping to organise them.

Robinson has travelled to Ireland to make a 'documentary' on anti-refugee protests.

Organisers said on social media that this protest will "counter" the St Patrick's Day parade which they say has "become Gay Pride 2". He filed for bankruptcy. His real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, but he took the name Tommy Robinson in honour of a football hooligan from his home town of Luton. He said there had been a march on Wednesday night, the East Wall protest, and that he was glad he didn’t go because he “didn’t want to put a bullet in the gun of the media or politicians” to attack the protestors. Robinson has identified as a loyalist and professed his support for British soldiers accused of crimes in the North, but his arrival in Ireland has been welcomed by a number of high-profile "Irish patriots" who have led anti-migrant protests in recent weeks. In a video on Thursday morning, Robinson said he was talking from Dublin and had just been out for a run.

Far-right hypocritical for associating with 'hateful loyalist' Tommy ... (Newstalk)

The Irish far-right are hypocritical for associating with the 'hateful loyalist' Tommy Robinson, TD Bríd Smith has claimed.

“I’m pointing out the contradictions between the far-right here, who claim to be Irish patriots, inviting a loyalist like that over who normally spouts hate about the Irish and has supported the loyalists and the British Army in the North,” she said. “He is a fascist leader in Britain and he is a hateful loyalist; he eulogises the Royal Family, he eulogises British nationalism.” “But the fascist organisations in this country claim to wrap the Green Flag around themselves, to be the best republicans, the best patriots and Tommy Robinson is a hateful [person].
