Tensions rising in north Dublin as convicted gangland criminal joins anti-immigration protests

This convicted gangland criminal has become involved in anti-immigration protests in north Dublin.

And sources have told Dublin Live that far right elements are spreading rumours about immigrants in the Finglas area – in bid to stoke up people’s anger and recruit more supporters to their cause. "It is all part of the far right’s plan,” one source said last night. "Finglas is right out of their play book.”

But sources said they were surprised by the involvement in protests by Wayne Bradley – a well known criminal in the area. Bradley, 43, is understood to have become involved in protests outside Finglas Garda station, and even posted on social media using the hashtag Housetheirish – a call for Irish people to be given housing before refugees and other immigrants.
