The Irish Right Ciaran Perry In all the commentary of the General Election results in the 26 counties, the implosion of the Blueshirts, the possible Left/Right re-alignment in Irish politics etc..., an important result was missed, or at least misread. That result was the 926 votes cast for Áine Ní Chonaill of the racist Immigration Control Platform (ICP) the Dublin South Central constituency. The result itself was mentioned by a few commentators but the significance of the number of votes was totally missed. Most people, political commentators and Irish Times letter writers alike, were of the opinion that 926 votes, or over 2% of votes cast in the constituency, was a poor result for the ICP. Unfortunately, this simplistic analysis of the result hides a few very significant factors which, when taken into account, transforms the result into a relatively good showing for the ICP.

The Political Treachery at the Heart of the IRA Toby Harnden Did Gerry Adams subvert the Provisional IRA by lying to his comrades and plotting to frustrate their goal of a united Ireland? Is Martin McGuinness a high-level informer who has been working for the British for the past two decades? These are just two of the tantalising questions raised by this important and compelling work, which slices through many of the convenient untruths that have been peddled by the political elites of Belfast, Dublin and London.
