Today’s the day. Stay tuned
A man from Sussex, now living in Ireland, says immigration is why he wants #Irexit. “Are you not an immigrant?”
“I don’t regard Ireland as a foreign country.”
“I don’t regard Ireland as a foreign country.”
Here’s the crowd. #Irexit 
By no means suggesting they’re a majority or even close but there are an interesting number of English ex-pats in the crowd. #Irexit
Emm... horslips time. #Irexit
, organiser of #Irexit event compares Brexit referendum to 1916 Rising. “They struck for their freedom... it’s everything we fought for 100 years ago.” 
.@LisaHannigan and The Chieftains music used in a scenic video about Ireland. #Irexit
Kelly: “who wants to be free?”
Loud cheers and “yeeeows”.
Kelly finishes with desire for a new political party. #Irexit
Loud cheers and “yeeeows”.
Kelly finishes with desire for a new political party. #Irexit
I note presence of members of the self-styled National Party in the hall. #Irexit
Anthony Coughlan, Arch-Irish Eurosceptic, says Nigel Farage is a hero. Applause. #Irexit. About 400 in the hall 
Also in my chat to crowd: “I’m a Brit. I can’t believe that 100 years after you left Britain you attached yourselves to a far less democratic union.” #Irexit
Coughlan says EU is a Franco-German “racket” started in Berlin to “dominate” Europe having “failed to do so in WW1 and WW2”. Loud applause. #Irexit
General buzz from the crowd is “immigration”, “fishing”, “sovereignty”, “take back control”. #Irexit
Anthony Coughlan’s speech has gone down a storm. “We should align ourselves with our countrymen and women in the North of Ireland in leaving EU.”
The talk is on fisheries being “raped” now. There is a lot of anger towards Eu from fishermen but Killybegs trawlermen will tell you they need UK waters for nephrops and mackerel. #Irexit
Nigel is on Marian now by the way so he’s due here shortly where he’ll be interviewed on stage by John Waters.
Tried to chat to a group of 20-something guys and women in rugby scarves at the back of the hall. “Do not dare put us on radio.” #Irexit
Karen Devine hits out at “silent Irish media” aiding and abetting domninance of Ireland by colonial power Europe and hall erupts. #Irexit
Here’s Johnny! Hall love him. Says people here are “the sovereign people.” The media “are a wrecking ball”. #Irexit
John Waters says Ireland is not a nation, republic or democracy. #Irexit 
“We have to remove the media because they don’t permit us to have the conversation.”
And the crowd goes WILD. #Irexit
And the crowd goes WILD. #Irexit
John Waters into the “multiculturalism” bit now. Immigrants “have no affinity or allegiance to the countries they end up in” HEAR HEAR
“This is our fault because we don’t demand it”. Applause. More applause. #Irexit
“This is our fault because we don’t demand it”. Applause. More applause. #Irexit
Crowd getting up. Waters rolling against “Mass migration”. “Europeans no longer have a place to call home.” This seems quite unlike any other political speech I’ve witnessed in Ireland. #Irexit
Waters says Europe’s Christianity being ebbed away by a “metastatic cancer”. Mass applause. “Natives.” “All this is happening when we’re forbidden from saying such things.”
Some lad in the crowd just tried to sneakily take a photo of me (don’t know why). His flash went off and now he’s mortified and covering his face.
“Family. Church. Nation.” Says Waters.
He’s wrapping up now. “Tyrannies” “political correctness”, “we need to say what we think and demand”. #Irexit
Standing ovation for Waters. Says we need to build an economy on “tradition, culture and our beliefs”
Eruption for Farage. Ovation. “Brexit proudest day of my life”. Wild cheers. 
Farage arrival.
Hollers and applause as Farage hits out at “Dublin media”. What timeline is this?
Farage tells crowd that if they stand up, “you’ll all be called bigots, racists, homophobes, xenophobia”. Laughs in crowd. #Irexit
“Mobilise and use the internet”, Farage tells crowd.
“If I can be of any help just call me and I’ll be on a plane to Dublin to help” #Irexit 
They've all gone for a break and a cup of tea now. Chance to catch our breath. #Irexit. They'll be back for an interview between Farage and Waters next. I expect a rigorous exercise in journalism.
Meanwhile, Farage mobbed for photos by crowd. And Dublin media cyborg @dionfanning was asked to help. #Irexit 
Alright. Where was I? @hermannkelly says he believes an #Irexit political "movement" fielding candidates in the next European elections is a possibility.
Cormac Lucey just used the word "quisling" to describe pro-Europeans in Ireland. Basically called them Nazi collaborators. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quisling #Irexit
We're now into the "traitors" and "saboteurs" moment in depicting those of differing political viewpoints. #Irexit
Lucey continuing the theme of "France and Germany dominate Europe" and "patriotic" Irish should stand against it. #Irexit
He's been followed by James Charity (Cllr in Galway): This is remarkable. We're in Dublin 4. The heart of establishment Ireland and this is the crowd we've gotten. #Irexit.
Cllr Charity has a slideshow. Starting with his CV. “I’m a barrister and a farmer ”. #Irexit 
Lads, I'm starving.
Charity talking about @nealerichmond calling this a "sham conference: "The orthodoxy tried to silence opinion. Thank god you've all come out today and we have this message to send to them. We're not going to be silenced."
Here we go. @jamescharity14 now talking about European elections. "We need people running in every constituency in 2019." What is Irish UKIP? IKIP? Kip doesn't really work in Dublin anyway. #Irexit
"It starts here," he concludes. It's Farage and Waters time. Strap yourselves in everybody. #Irexit
Here we are. #Irexit
