A group calling itself the New Republican Movement has emerged in Ireland, appearing in a video posted on social media on 28 November 2025, threatening elected representatives in the Newry, Mourne and Down area.
The video features three masked men, one of whom appears to hold a handgun, reading a statement that labels local politicians as “legitimate targets” due to their policies on immigration and alleged “sexual indoctrination” of children in schools.
The group says it is protecting Irish culture and religion from a migrant invasion and traitors in power.
Earlier today, Liz Churchill posted the video below on Twitter (now X) with the comment: “It was only a matter of time … The New Republican Movement of Ireland has put a target on anyone ruining the lives of the Irish and who compromise the safety of women and children.”
The statement in the video read:
To the people of Newry, Mourne and Down, we, the New Republican Movement, have watched their councillors, MLAs, over the past 12 months. The level of disrespect shown to the people who put you into power. This cannot be ignored any longer. We are proud men of Ireland. We are patriots. Your policies and decision-making regards to flooding our communities with undocumented, military-aged men is not acceptable.
We will not sit back any longer and watch our culture and religion destroyed by the people we put in power. Also, the sexual indoctrination of our children, schools, has not gone unnoticed either. The New Republican Movement will take immediate action against anyone who threatens our ways of life and the safety of our women and children.
We have your addresses, know your movements; every one of you are legitimate targets as of today. The New Republican Movement, 28/11/25.
