    The Irish Nationalist side are not extreme right wingers where the Loyalist side include some of the most right wing individuals in all of the UK.

    IIRC the largest single branch of the UK National Front ( back 30 years ago) was in Coleraine.

    But Irish nationalism is not really right wing. Right wingers are not particularly Irish Nationalist either...it is more internationalist and mesoscaled by skin colour or economic standpoint.

    The people behind the two groups I've mentioned above, seem to be conveniently forgetting that human life didn't start here in Ireland so in order for them to be here today, at some stage or another in their family lineage, someone had to up sticks from somewhere else and cross the pond to get here!

    I wouldn't be surprised if any Irish far-right movement in the future were staunchly Catholic. As the Church's influence continues to wane, eventually the only young people who take its word as (pardon the pun) gospel would be those with far-right views.

    As if by some divine provenance, a challenger appears.

    I was well aware of YD before I made that post, but I don't class them as a fully-fledged political party. However, IIRC one of their leaders has links to the DRM which the OP (or someone else in this thread) referenced.
