Abstract

The STOPFARRIGHT project was inspired by our concern at the rise of the far right throughout Europe, North America and elsewhere, and more immediately in Ireland, as the far right became increasingly visible in demonstrations against Covid 19 public health measures in the country. Our main research question was how civil society organisations most affected by far right (FR) discourse – that is those groups supporting migrants, ethnic and sexual minorities, women’s rights and groups with explicit anti-FR activities - could counter-act such discourse and actions emerging from it. To this end the main objective of the project was to work with civil society organisations (CSOs) concerned about the far right in order to establish from their perspective the level of threat of the far right in Ireland, the extent and effectiveness of state, political party and civil society counter-strategising against the FR in the country, and ultimately to gather and share ideas about how these could be improved. Additionally, the project sought to facilitate information exchange between concerned sectors in Ireland and international and European academics and civil society groups who share this concern
