Away from headlines about their ownership of gold, the National Party have featured at the forefront of culture war issues in Ireland in recent years
But yesterday, the small group made headlines after it was bizarrely alleged that €400,000 worth of gold had been stolen from the party.
“I think if you look into the personality behind the so-called National Party and the rhetoric and the track record of people involved, you can see what kind of people they are,” a spokesperson for the European Network Against Racism previously told The Journal. In another protest that year, the party organised a protest against Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman, who is gay, whom they wrongly accused of being sympathetic towards paedophiles.Despite officially registering as a party under Irish law in 2016, the National Party has repeatedly failed to comply with its obligations under the Electoral Act.
Its leader Justin Barrett also stood during the Dublin Bay South by-election in 2021, receiving 183 first preference votes out of a total of 26,882 valid votes in the constituency . According to the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, Barrett began associating with neo-Nazi groups around the same time.
She made headlines the same year when Twitter confirmed it had removed a tweet she posted targeting the ethnicity of former Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu.
