New Irish right wing think tank? - The National Alliance/National Forum

[Apjp]

giant who cares. the only credible right alternative id say would win votes are the centre independent group and they arent even that right they are centre!!!! strange how themselves and the left agree with all the basics now needed-close the soverign quickly and protect the people from the imposed reprations. Still Id rather them as opposite idealists than ganley-hes just a bald hitler. an ex arms dealer with CIA links.

Yes heard John McGuirk on one of the radio programmes today. He said it was too late to set up a new party and that he would be talking to people before making a decision on whether or not he would run.

They had a public meeting in Dublin the night of the CI(S) Bill was passed with over 100 at it. There is a small constituency for the Traditional Catholic far right. Ganley always had to keep his views pretty much under wraps to keep credibility. There would have to be a lot more political and economic damage done before this group would get traction. But it is never wise to dismiss the far right or laugh at them. They should be taken seriously, politically exposed and fenced in to the sludgy backwaters in which they originate.

There are no indications as of now that Ganley will run for election. He announced his possible interest, but that might not necessarily translate into a decision to run, given the fact that there's a real chance he could be humiliated and the national press would be onto it like dogs on a bone. I would hazard the guess he'd prefer to stay in the background pulling the strings on any new group that set up and funding it.

Well confused by this - "the National Forum" - same people and same aims, apparently

Broadcaster and National Forum founder Marc Coleman said the group was considering running general election candidates, most likely under the name of the National Reform Party.

Ireland doesn't need a right-wing think thank.

Since none of the current think tanks appear to be able to think us out of the current mess, why do we need another one??

They already had a name change from the 'National Alliance' because it smacked too much of a fascist party

Hilarious blog post from People Korps. It appears that Ganley alleges he was robbed of "8 lengths of ash tree"

Funny for all except the poor lad charged with stealing Ganley's ash tree lengths. It is a bizarre case and I wish the defendant the best. However I would urge the alleged victims to support the hurley makers otherwise there will be no clash of the ash and Ireland will be denuded of manly forms chasing each other with sticks and we will all end up playing

John McGuirk has had a 10k judgement registered against him in Stubbs Gazette by Ballybay Credit Union, according to the ST yesterday. Part of a 25k loan he took out to furnish an apartment in Dublin, it seems.
