The Irish Freedom Party, founded by Hermann Kelly, has been removed from Ireland’s register of political parties. This decision effectively strips the party of official status and associated benefits. The move follows a failure to meet the requirements for maintaining registered party status, though specific reasons haven’t been widely detailed. The party has been known for its anti-immigration stance and far-right views. Deregistration means the party will no longer be eligible for state funding allocated to registered political organizations. It also impacts the party’s ability to officially nominate candidates in elections under the party banner. The decision was made by Ireland’s Standards in Public Office Commission.
