Abstract
Ireland has long since been a nation characterized by their history of colonialism, emigration and political support of immigrants. Today, however, the tide seems to be shifting— and going unnoticed. In this paper, I hope to highlight the pitfalls of Irish exceptionalism and nationalism, how they contribute to and ignore the growth of far-right ideology within the Republic. Using the Muslim community in Ireland as a case study, I prove how the far-right movement is affecting Muslim in Ireland today.
