Holocaust “myth” group probed: Independent
From the Irish Independent:
Holocaust ‘myth’ group probed
A FILE is to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions over a far right political party which calls itself Movement to Save Ireland.
Garda spokesperson Superintendent Kevin Donohue confirmed that officers had made an arrest and seized computers from the group last month. The group’s leader had claimed on Newstalk’s ‘The Breakfast Show’ that the Holocaust was a “myth”.
For anyone who is interested, holocaust denial is not a crime in Ireland. One can deny the holocaust happened if they so choose to do so. The act in which the Movement to Save Ireland is being investigated under is the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act, 1989,
While there is nothing more than what occurred in the NewsTalk segment contained in the Independent article, claims on far-right wing websites that certain people are being charged with holocaust denial can now be put to rest, as they are false.
