This afternoon.
Bonnington Hotel, Swords Road, Whitehall, Dublin 9.
Scenes from the launch of the Irexit Freedom Party led by County Derry-born former Nigel Farage aide Hermann Kelly.
The draft political programme for the party states that “an exit from the EU would permit the Irish people to take back control” of citizenship, currency, immigration, sea-fisheries and trade, among other things.
Its programme also pledges support for a “reunited and independent Ireland under the control of the Irish people and not that of either London or Brussels”.
Among the party’s secondary objectives are opposing the “political / media hegemony”, “protection of the Irish language” and as a “patriotic party” it is “pro-nationalist and supportive of stable families for procreation”.
From top: Irexit Freedom Party leader Hermann Kelly; from left: Mr Kelly, Kate Lawlor and Ray Basset; Raymond and Amanda Gallagher; Ray Kinsella; audience members; Paddy Manning; Ms Lawlor and Mr Kelly.

Unfortunate that the logo looks as if the Irish harp is blowing away like smoke…
Opportunistic self pleasurers.
There’s a bang of the People’s Front of Judea/Judean People’s Front about it all.
Here’s Russia Today’s take on it

Vampyra seems keen all the same
This. This can fupp right off.
Brexit was an opportunistic con by shady backroom types to short the markets and coin it. All this slurry-talk of sovereignty, fisheries and freedom is nothing but soundbites for fockwits to repeat daaahn the pab, meaningless nonsense to hide a canalised stream of small-horizon xenophobia. Dangerous people abusing democracy and the easily swayed ignorance of a sizable chunk of the populous, they want to pull us down into the abyss with GB – they don’t give 1 excreta about Ireland.

Is it still okay to wear Sandals in September?
It if’s September 33 A.D., yes.
Otherwise, only if the nurse has hidden the shoes you were admitted in.
The only place for sandals on a man is the beach
Iona “Institute” meets Renua and UKIP, they all do the hanky panky and, presto, the Irexit Party is born. Lovely, we needed something to laugh about.

Motto: “Nurse! The Screens!”
Rise up off your knees servile Irish folk.
Become the independent nation you fought so long and hard to achieve.
Above all get some pride back in your life and stop living a miserable existence dependant on the crumbs swept of Angela Merkel’s table.
The whole fabric of Europe is changing before your eyes thanks to the EU’s disastrous open door immigration policy.
The fascist AfD is on the march in Germany with Merkel a busted flush,Salvini is re-energising Italy,Macron has lower approval ratings than Trump and Eastern Europe is rebelling against the whole European project.
Time to grow a set of cojones,sheeple.
Embrace food shortages! Embrace being locked out of free trade with 26 other countries! Embrace losing the freedom to travel, live and work on continental Europe! Embrace life without farm subsidies and EU grants! Embrace poverty! Embrace stupidity! Embrace Irexit!
67.5 billion reasons why you’re talking out of your hole.
You’re being bent over backwards and rogered sideways.
I’ll have you know that its actually more pleasurable than you’d think.
“bent over backwards” yet “rogered sideways”
friday night/saturday night memories conflation, charger
what was your favourite, chubby toryboy?
to think I made a similar comment about that redhead and they deleted mine
Very unfair!
i was only referencing charger and his obsession with gay sex
some things never really leave the english public schoolboy, it seems
Yet no-one actually tries to argue against my proposition that the EU is dying on its feet.
It’s just the usual procession of nodding dogs in the back window of the car in front saying Europe will look after us because we did exactly as they told us to for so many years and surely to God they won’t abandon us.
Listen up chumps.
Europe DOES.NOT.GIVE.A.TOSS.ABOUT.IRELAND.
Sure they do now because it’s part of the willy-waving negotiations between Barnier and Blighty.
But come that final agreement next year – you’re going to shafted by an almighty wake-up call.
Blah, blah agus blah. Europe cares so little about Ireland they’re not willing to move the Sasamach negotiations beyond the border.
Ollie has always really given the impression he has Ireland’s best interests at heart, so it’s easy to be swept along by his impassioned pleas to join the country that literally forgot we existed when planning their self-immolation.
Britain’s three biggest unions want a second vote because Sasamach is going so, so well.
And exactly what power and influence do they have to make that 2nd referendum happen ?
I genuinely try to understand your doltish contributions because at least you make an effort but,seriously,I’m struggling to reason why you’re any more intelligent than that oaf called Brother Barnabas.
The point is they’re calling for one because they see the damage Sasamach is doing and will do. We’ll see what sort of power they have come the election.
Imagine if you could post without tossing around insults to distract from your weak attempts to make a point.
was it the bit about your dead aul one’s mouth?
Shouting lager, lager, lager…
that made me laugh too much …
Oh wait, Ollie called us sheeple. We’d better destroy our economy and our children’s futures by pulling out of the only union that has been of any benefit to Ireland.
Olliie – two words for you – the second being “off”. Judging by your writing style and diction I’d say you’re true blue Mulhuddart, D15.
Ah that’s BS.tv Kate
Remember the Late Late 8th Debate?
3rd down – is that a piece of cake?
Camera case.
It’s surprising really how often you can judge a book by its cover.
I look at the odd attire of people in the photos. I look at the standard hotel meeting room chairs. I ask myself if these people will win votes by knocking on doors around the country next year. They might attract crowds to their outdoor meetings (rallies?) if they hire a rock band.
fantastic… this will have more support then people like to admit…
Any minute now all the grey haired dinosaurs on broadsheet who really believe they are the smartest people in the room will be along to lose their minds
The latest opinion polls show 11% support for Ireland leaving the EU. That’ll drop as Sasmach continues to stumble towards its inevitable disastrous conclusion.
yeah sure man. Your triggered, I get that. the best outcome for you is that you continue to support the government into your very old age and hopefully when you get sick you won’t get a bed and probably die. but at least you believed in something even though it was the wrong thing to believe in.
Being European, it’s all we have. Being Irish or being a catholic isn’t very comforting. I want to be more French, or German, or Swedish, or Dutch. I don’t want to be a little islander. No thanks.
Being a scared conservative isn’t a good state of mind to live in. Look at UKIP, a hive of heart attacks and bigotry. We are better? Probably.
Maddy Panning, Kate Not Bopp anymore and Farage’s bagman… The absolute dregs! A bunch who you just know would offer to give and recieve if Farage demanded servicing.
OK, now we’re stylin’ with the schandal – so the bould Kate and Every Bopp are no more? Them of “new use for drones”?

What’s the story? It’s probably a lot more interesting than this mullarkey. I thought she’d be against that sort of thing…
Mmmm Bopp ooo ooo ooo
You bastard putting that in my head now!
Blitzkrieg Bopp?
‘Hey ho, let’s go! hey ho, let’s go!’
This is a wind-up surely. Seriously?
It’s like the dancers from the Xmas panto at the Olympia have to audition for Fair City in front of the Tullamore Men’s Shed or something… surreal.
More please. We need entertainment.
At last John McGuirk has shown solid judgement by not being in this buffoonery…
Ah stop
Shur’ lay’ve ’em at it
They’ll have run out’ve money or lost it
And have fallen out before they get t’ an AGM
I see you were looking for John McGuirk
Any sign of Justin Barrett ah’ tall
No Peter? No Party.
We need to take back control of our country, before it’s too latehttp://jrnl.ie/2271968

Shhh. It’s early doors.
McGuirk will be rolled out for phase 2.
Bunch of sweaty right winger phishflaps.
“Hermann” Kelly? Is it just me?
jasus have those gobsheens nothing better to be doing with their time or somebody else’s money?
that Kate Lawlor wan is special
Yes, who is funding this circus?
oh my, the valiant defenders of democracy seek to silence a voice…..ah, who are the fascists again?
oh, yes..I forgot – you work for the greater good but the other guys don’t – lols
Who is disillusioned now?
Another professional contrarian I see
eh, I was talking about the people commenting above. I’m a 20-yr Euroskeptic myself and a firm believer that democracy tends function best when you have Europhiles and Euroskeptics making their cases.
drain the swamp. remove Ireland from the EU. Watch the sad grey haired dinosaurs on broadsheet.ie lose their minds. it’s so predictable
I love that you’re clinging to “drain the swamp” as your mantra. Even the racist, sexist, isolationist, lying idiot with the understanding of a 5th or 6th grader admitted it was a meaningless thing he was told to say, something he hated for being so hokey, but the brainless masses following him loved it. You may as well just type “baa! baa!”.
he should have been inclusive and said blue-rinse haired dinosaurs – baa..baa….hahahahaha
In years to come when they build the Museum of Idiots, Cian will be a legend at that museum. Children will ask what was wrong with him and we will tell him how citizens like Cian were castigated in the the period 2015-2020
Isn’t that the same hotel where the “boxing weigh-in” took place? Since renamed for obvious reasons. Looks like they might need to change the name again…. Asylum.
Dontcha love these immigrants from the the UK. They come over here, taking our rightwing, mouthoff, blowhard cause jobs…..
You’re new to this, aren’t you?
You know you can’t actually see the commenters, right? Or can you? Nurse, the screens again!
“an exit from the EU would permit the Irish people to take back control”
Now would that be before or after the American corps relocate to the remaining EU? Still, the unification angle is interesting as it was never regarded as a right wing thing before. Of course the only way Ireland would survive is to rejoin the UK so maybe that is what they mean by unification? I suppose that is patriotism of sorts, British patriotism.
supportive of stable families for procreation
WTF does that even mean?
