  • Far-right 'New Republican Movement’: Police investigate threats against Newry politicians
    Dec 5 2025

    A criminal investigation has been launched after a group of masked and armed men issued threats where they described politicians in the Newry area as “legitimate targets”. In the video, the three masked men, who are shown holding what looks like firearms, say they are members of the ‘New Republican Movement’. One of the masked men accuses local politicians of ‘flooding our communities with undocumented military age men’, before hitting out at the supposed ‘sexual indoctrination’ of children.

    Olivia Peden is joined by Allison Morris.
