“They’re a mass immigration party!”

The chairman of Ireland’s Freedom Party has criticized Sinn Fein as thousands of people descended on Dublin to protest against immigration and the lack of infrastructure in the Republic of Ireland.

This comes as Britain and the Republic of Ireland continue to feud over migrants crossing the border as deportations ramp up in Rwanda.


Speaking to GB News reporter Dougie Beattie, President Hermann Kelly said the protesters are sending a “very clear message” that “Ireland is full” and that the government must “accommodate the Irish first”.

Kelly added that protesters have started a new chant that “Sinn Fein are traitors”, which is “new to Irish politics”.

Kelly told Dougie, “That would never have happened two years ago, but people have the confidence now.”

The chairman of Ireland’s Freedom Party attacked Sinn Fein, claiming they had been “exposed” amid the migrant row.

Kelly told GB News: “I think Sinn Fein has been exposed as a mass immigration party with open borders.

“And now that leaves room for a nationalist party like the Irish Freedom Party, which believes in democratic self-determination for the Irish people.”

Kelly added: “They believe in EU membership and subservience to the European Union. And we are against all that.”

Asked by Dougie if he thought Sinn Fein “should have taken up Rishi Sunak’s offer” to join the Rwanda programme, Kelly replied: “Of course they should have, but they can’t.

“They can’t do that because they are members of the EU. And trade policy, for example, is entirely determined by the European Union.

“Ireland has an opt-out in the area of ​​justice and home affairs so that, for example, they can say no to the EU migration pact, but because they want to be the best in the class and get an example from the real masters in Brussels , would never say no to Brussels.”

Kelly also emphasized that because they are part of the EU, this means that “EU law is superior to Irish law”.

He explained: “They are happy to accept these open borders and they know what the Irish people have. They understand that in matters of EU competence, EU law is superior to Irish law, the Irish Supreme Court and the Irish Constitution.

“And that is not at all what a democratic Irish Republic is.”
