  • Extremism and Terrorism
    Ireland: Extremism and Terrorism On December 19, 2019, Cloverhill District Court in Dublin granted Lisa Smith bail following an appeal hearing. Smith, a former member of the Irish Defense Forces, was arrested at Dublin Airport on suspicion of terrorism offenses following her return from Turkey in November 2019. According to Irish authorities, Smith was allegedly a member of ISIS. Smith was later examined by Professor Anne Speckhard who determined that Smith had “no interest in rejoining or returning to the Islamic State.” Smith’s trial is scheduled for January 2022. (Sources: Belfast Telegraph, Irish Post) Ireland saw an increase in Islamist and far-right extremism throughout 2019, according to Europol. In 2019, Irish authorities arrested five people on suspicions of supporting “jihadi terrorism.” This included Smith’s November 2019 arrest. An additional four people were arrested for financing jihadist terrorism. Europol also noted a rise in far-right extremism, based on the number of Irish users in leaked user data from the far-right website Iron March. (Source: Irish Times) Beginning in late 2019, concerns grew that the possible return of a hard border between British-ruled Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland after Brexit could increase security tensions in the once war-torn province. The Police Services of Northern Ireland recorded an increase in violent attacks along the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland border in 2019 and called on politicians to take action to heal enduring divisions in society. According to a representative for the New IRA—Northern Ireland’s largest dissident organization—the uncertainty surrounding Brexit provided the group a politicized platform to carry out attacks along the U.K.

  • Social Movements and Political Violence in Northern Ireland and the United States
    Social Movements and Political Violence in Northern Ireland and the United States Saara Aitokari University of Helsinki Faculty of Social Sciences World Politics Master’s Thesis April 2017 Summary This thesis deals with two cases of insurgent organisations that incorporated violent methods in their repertoire in the late sixties and the early seventies. The first case is that of Northern Ireland, where protests and counter-protests escalated into a violent conflict known as the Troubles. The second case is that of United States, during the same period. In both cases, there was first a nonviolent civil right movement which then fragmented and was superseded by groups endorsing more confrontational forms of protest. Despite many similarities in the initial phases of protest in both locations, violent political conflict ensued only in Northern Ireland. In the United States, confrontation peaked at the very end of the sixties, and then declined rapidly in early seventies. The aim of the thesis is to identify reasons for this difference. Social movement theory is used as the theoretical framework of the thesis. The organisations studied are the Weather Underground, the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army and the Provisional IRA. Personal narrative analysis is used to study the material. The primary material consists of six autobiographies. Other personal accounts, government reports, contemporary newspaper articles and secondary research literature are used as complementary material. Both Northern Ireland and the United States were characterised by horizontal inequality. In Northern Ireland, however, inequality was not only socio-economic but also more clearly political. Movement fragmentation, rivalry and violent outbidding also had a significant impact on the escalation of conflict.

The first club outside Ulster was Dublin Association Football Club which was formed in 1883. At the time, the Irish Football Association (IFA) was the governing body. Based in Belfast, it found it difficult to promote football throughout the country. This led to the formation of the Leinster Football Association in 1892 as the game became more popular in the area. However, there was always a feeling among clubs from outside the Belfast area that the IFA favoured Ulster based clubs-especially when selecting sides for international matches. Despite this, it was not until after the 1916 Rising and the rise of Nationalism that southern affiliates, such as the Leinster FA, took an aggressive approach in their dealings with the IFA. The clubs often threatened to break away, and in early 1921, Bohemians, St. James's Gate and Shelbourne all withdrew from the Irish League, though all three sides decided to remain involved in Cup competitions.
