Gardaí raise concerns over far-right anti-immigrant patrol groups ahead of nationalist events

Conor McGregor has offered to host a trad session in his pub following the planned far-right day of action.

Gardaí have described self-styled anti-immigrant "patrol" groups as "a cause of concern" ahead of a series of planned nationalist events this weekend.

A number of groups have begun "patrols" in towns across Ireland in the last 18 months, largely linked to far-right anti-immigrant movements. Gardaí have warned only they have a statutory role in public order.
