Member of Anti Fascist Action (AFA) are claiming that a group are distributing racist leaflets around a Co Kildare town.
The alleged racist group was established in Finland in October as an anti-immigrant street patrol group.
It now expanded in to some European countries, including Ireland. AFA travelled to Monastervin following claims that the group had been distributing leaflets in the town.
An AFA statement said: "They have come here to try and create tension between people based on their nationality, colour and religion.This kind of behaviour is completely at odds with the people of Ireland who have travelled all over the world for work, refuge and a better life. Racism, bigotry and fascism will never be acceptable in Monasterevin or any part of our island."
