#18 - Derek Blighe - Ireland First: Challenging the Irish Political Establishment

Eddie Hobbs interviewed Derek Blighe, founder of the Ireland First political party, on June 25th at Buswells Hotel. During the interview, the Dáil debated Ireland's opt-in to the EU Migration & Asylum Pact—a decision permanently impacting Irish homogeneity. Derek reveals his remarkable story of returning from Canada with his young family after 10 years, just before COVID-19 hit. He describes the effect this had on him and what triggered him to establish a new political party. Derek ran in the European elections, gaining 25,000 first preference votes and 38,000 votes in total—a remarkable outcome from a standing start.
