Who is Justin Barrett?
Justin Barrett is an Irish far right nationalist, pro-life and anti-immigration activist.
Barrett was involved in the Constitutional Rights Campaign, which unsuccessfully campaigned to prevent the ratification of the Single European Act in 1986. In 1987 he became involved in Family Solidarity, a movement established to oppose liberalisation on social issues such as abortion, contraception, gay rights and divorce. Lack of success in this area led him to the conviction that political involvement was necessary for results - he was subsequently involved in Young Fine Gael until 1991. From 1992 he became actively involved in the Irish pro-life movement, becoming the lead spokesperson of Youth Defence, and as a student in Athlone RTC he unsuccessfully contested the election for the Presidency of Union of Students in Ireland. During the 1995 divorce referendum, he was spokesman for the Youth Against Divorce campaign. He was also involved in the campaign against the 2002 abortion referendum.
