Shifting Landscapes & Language: Democratic volatility and the evolving political discourse in Ireland
Ireland is at a crucial crossroads as shifting political dynamics and discourse reshape its democratic landscape. This report examines whether far-right rhetoric has started to influence mainstream political narratives and explores the perspectives of young Irish men who may be vulnerable to reactionary politics, looking into their values, frustrations, and receptiveness to such rhetoric. Through detailed discourse analysis, ethnographic research, and insights from senior stakeholders, the study offers valuable insights into the factors shaping this changing landscape and the challenges it poses for Ireland's democratic discourse.
