The neo-Nazi Skinhead movement in Ireland is very small, a
circumstance that the Irish Skinheads lament. "We have plenty
of nationalists," writes one, "but not enough National
Socialists!"
Two groups, the Irish Hammer Skins and Women for Aryan Unity,
share a Dublin post office box. An Irish Skinhead band, Celtic
Dawn, has recorded an album titled "Europe's Honour,"
according to the British Skinhead publication Last Chance.

Disclaimer: not all skinheads are neo-nazis or white
supremacists. There are many skinheads who are non- or anti-racist, and
who come from a variety of different religious and cultural backgrounds.
Nizkor recognizes their achievements in anti-racism: they are part of
the traditional, non-racist skinhead subculture and are not the
perpetrators of the hate crimes discussed here.
Unless otherwise specified, the word "skinhead" within these pages
refers only to neo-Nazi and white supremacist skinheads, the
perpetrators of hate crimes and participants in racist organizations.
We cannot edit the body of the text above, because it was not written by
Nizkor, and to change the wording would be fraudulent. Please keep in
mind that not all skinheads are racist.
