Anti-racism protestors have disrupted the launch of a new political party.

Identity Ireland formally launched as a party after handing in its papers to the Dáil today.

It admits it wants stricter border controls in place.

It says there must be a return of full Irish sovereignty, and a return to the Punt.

It believes multi-culturalism undermines the identity of the Irish people.

National spokesperson Peter O'Loughlin outlined the views, after the anti-racism protestors had been removed.
