Mapping #OperationBlitzkrieg

The map below shows all the Irish locations listed in the recent #Operationblitzkrieg leaks. I have removed names and exact addresses (house numbers, etc.)

The map draws together data from 4 leaks, revealing the spread of far right support across the country. There are 58 listings for Dublin with many based in Tallaght, Clondalkin and other west Dublin suburbs. Cork has 22 listings and Galway has a surprising 18. A number of addresses appeared several times for different verified names, indicating clusters of activists living together.

An unredacted version of this map including full names, addresses and email contacts has been shared with a number of Irish newspapers.

Details of a senior civil servant, secondary school history teacher and business professional are all included in the leak alongside those of known far right activists. Contact details lead to Facebook accounts revealing trips to Auschwitz and international hate sites run from obscure backwater villages.

A previous leaked list of Blood and Honour forum members from 2008 showed over 200 Irish members with just 20 active users. This leak reveals a new level of neo-Nazi activity in Ireland including scores of activists who have migrated from eastern European countries, many previously unknown to myself and anti-racist organisations I have shared the files with.
