The appearance of stickers promoting the Irish Republican Resistance on lampposts in Co Wexford has raised concerns and sparked discussions about the activities of dissident republican groups in the area.
The stickers, which feature masked men and messages urging people to “join now” and “play your part,” suggest a recruitment campaign by the Irish Republican Resistance, a dissident republican group.
Such activities are not uncommon in areas where these groups are active, as they seek to garner support for their causes and ideologies.

The presence of these stickers has raised concerns among local residents and authorities about the potential for increased dissident republican activity in the area.
There is also concern about the message these stickers send to the community, particularly in terms of glorifying violence and promoting divisive ideologies.
Authorities are likely to be monitoring the situation closely and may take action to remove the stickers and deter further recruitment efforts by dissident republican groups.
Community leaders and organizations may also play a role in addressing the issue, by promoting unity and understanding among residents and discouraging support for extremist groups.
The appearance of these stickers serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by dissident republican groups in some parts of Ireland and the importance of remaining vigilant against efforts to promote violence and division within communities.
