Justin Barrett speech at Lucinda Southworth's office in Dublin Ireland [LABOR RIGHTS PROTEST]
https://nationalparty.ie/

The party was founded in 2016, by Justin Barrett as party president and James Reynolds as party vice president. The National Party had planned to hold its press launch in the Merrion Hotel in Dublin but the event was cancelled by the hotel,[8] which subsequently said it had done so for "public safety reasons".[9] There had been much adverse reaction online to the announcement of the launch.[3][10][11]

Barrett, who was raised in County Tipperary, has a background in anti-abortion and anti-immigration politics, formerly being a leading figure in Youth Defence and campaigning against the Treaty of Nice. Barrett attracted media attention due to his participation in events in both Germany and Italy organised by far right parties, the National Democratic Party and Forza Nuova, respectively, in the 1990s.[12] Barrett has denied sharing their far right views and said he attended these events in his capacity as an anti-abortion campaigner.[9][13][14][15] In 2016, in an interview where he incorrectly overstated the levels of migration to Ireland by a factor of three, he called his attendance at these meetings "a mistake"

2022 Ard Fheis
The party's annual Ard Fheis held in the Lough Erne Resort, County Fermanagh was disrupted by a group of far-left[47][48] anti-fascist protestors who arrived by minibus, some of whom were armed with hammers and covered their faces with scarves and balaclavas.[49] A fire extinguisher was also used by anti-fascists as a weapon.[50] Two people were treated at the scene for their injuries and four others were taken to hospital following the incident.[51] One protestor, Daniel Comerford from Dublin,[52] was arrested and charged with having a hammer as an offensive weapon, causing criminal damage to a glass door, and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm and affray.[53]

The party Ard Fheis continued shortly after the disturbance. In his speech, deputy leader James Reynolds condemned the attack on the conference by "red communist thugs".[54] In a subsequent statement, the party said: "The far-left in Ireland feel entitled to bludgeon people...Why? Because the NGO sector and media establishment give it moral sanction. The same people demand 'hate speech' legislation to create a two-tier justice system where they are on top."[47]

National Party leader Justin Barrett at the party's 2017 Ard Fheis in County Clare. Barrett has called for a complete ban on Muslims entering Ireland and for greater vetting efforts to be made,[5] stating that "all of them are potentially dangerous",[61] though he later clarified that he does not believe Ireland needs a complete ban on Muslims entering the country.[62] The party also favours racial profiling.[5]

The party supports a renegotiation of Ireland's relationship with the EU, including a withdrawal from the Eurozone, but does not support exiting the European Union itself. They have described the EU as "dictatorial".[5]

The party makes an irredentist claim on Northern Ireland; the first of its "nine principles" is copied from the old Article 2 of the Irish Constitution: "The National Party believes that the territory of Ireland consists of the whole island of Ireland, its islands and the territorial seas."[63]

It advocates the reintroduction of the death penalty for "particularly heinous crimes", and opposes the decriminalisation of drugs.[64]

The party opposes same-sex marriage, stating that it is "against gay marriage, but not gay people".[5] In 2016, Barrett declared marriage equality a "sham" and "not natural."

The party opposes allowing any law permitting abortion in Ireland, supports repeal of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013, and refers to the X Case as "obtuse".[65] The party endorsed a No vote in the abortion referendum, and campaigned against it through the Abortion Never campaign.

Barrett has spoken in support of a form of economic nationalism which he deemed "intelligent protectionism".
