A Limerick-based white supremacist organisation has failed in its efforts to be recognised as a political party in order to contest local or national elections.
The Democratic People's Party, which is opposed to a "black Ireland" and claims to stand up for "real Irish people" had applied to join the Dáil's Register of Political Parties.
However, the self-styled "nationalist" party was turned down this month by the Dáil's Registrar of Political Parties on the basis that it does not satisfy requirements under the electoral acts.
The party's address was given as Robin Hill, Ballyneety, Co Limerick.
In order to be officially registered, political parties have to show that they are organised and have not less than 300 recorded members. The party must also show that it has a constitution and an annual conference or meeting.
In a recent issue of Iris Oifigiúil, the Registrar of Political Parties gave notice that he had refused the party's application.
While the party's website, registered last January, has been cancelled by the service provider, a person claiming to be from the organisation places regular bulletins on the Ireland discussion page of the Stormfront white nationalist website.
In one message, the member, who goes under the name Ted Roach, said the policy of the DPP will be to "put Irish people first. If we take back all the billions the government wastes on refugees we wont have to put up taxs \."
