It’s not an anti-mask rally if it’s being lead by a group set up by Jim Dowson (Britain First and BNP) and the speakers are criminals, far right agitators and anti-vaxxers in QAnon t-shirts. It’s the right hijacking a cause and beating people with sticks for pointing it out.
Síol na hÉireann, in the white shirts with the flags are a far right group setup from template by Jim Dowson, ex BNP and founder of Britain First. They’re also active in Cork. They and QAnon hitch up to fringe causes and use them to recruit and radicalise. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/feb/25/truth-britain-first-facebook-far-right-bnp
Yellow Vest Ireland are bigots, xenophobes and anti-vaxxers. They’re in their element now because they can take advantage of people’s fear and uncertainty. This isn’t solidarity, it’s exploitation. Their events are littered with QAnon slogans and banners. https://www.thejournal.ie/yellow-vest-ireland-4440420-Jan2019/
As for the QAnon content. I tweet about it extensively here and it’s rise both in Ireland and worldwide. https://twitter.com/gemmentedod1/status/1304543532804382721
And just for context. Angela Ray was the speaker referenced in that post. The man who violently quieted one woman’s voice against the rally with a 2x4 is a long running partner-in-crime of Angela Ray, Michael (E.) Quinn, a violent man whose children had to be taken into care.
So when you see these “anti-mask” rallies in Dublin and Cork, the person next to you might be as fed up as you, but the lads in front of you and at the edges are far right, anti-vaxx, conspiracy theory, hate and fear merchants. They’re there to exploit you and silence dissent.
Both the guy in the tweet above and the guy in the this picture are Cork members of right wing, UK-derived hate group Síol na hÉireann. They’re the 2x4 wrapped in a flag. Know who you’re getting behind ffs. #altshite #nopasaran
Additionally present and party to the assault were members of the supposedly folded Generation Identity U.K. & Ireland, a group with ties to the New Zealand Mosque shooting. Dylan Curtis & Co are so obvious I don’t know why he bothers hiding his face https://twitter.com/soundmigration/status/1218571779322630144?s=21
Note in the photo that “security at this gig are wearing ear pieces, tactical gloves and armbands with “Antifa Hunting Licenses”. But of course they’re just here with that and 2x4s wrapped in flags because they’re concerned masks give them acne.
If you think it’s a coincidence that white supremacists around the world are co-ordinating their actions and using the same tactics, you may think again. https://twitter.com/gwensnyderphl/status/1162799823352975360?s=21
If anyone has a name for the guy in the beanie I’d be happy to hear it. 
By now we are all familiar with the talking points these rallies and their members put forth, usually ending in violence, denigration of legitimate media and cries of “pedos out”. It’s no secret the anti-mask rallies have strong QAnon support. Listen to this man speak. https://twitter.com/cnnnewsroom/status/1305644709113671680
