Yes, some Irish are wonderful people, but remember that the Irish government never officially entered WWII against the Nazis, mostly because of their (justifiable) historical animus against the Brits. But there was also a pro-Nazi faction in Ireland at the time.
Perhaps someone can tell us how many Arab Muslims have immigrated to Ireland. That might be the influence that is sparking this new wave of anti-Semitism. It may not be many, but remember that Ireland has a small population, with a sizable proportion having immigrated out in recent decades. So it wouldn't take too many Arab newcomers to give them political clout and thereby get the government to wink at their vile crimes, as has been the case in quite a number of other western European countries, especially France.
The author of this posted article is right on target to highlight the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments in Western Europe, but he is remiss in not even mentioning the Arab Moslem immigration to Europe, which is a very significant factor in the big picture.
Justifiable altogether?
The European Union (even under its predecessor names such as “European Economic Community” et al) was always antagonistic against Israel, long before any presence, never mind increase, of Muslim population was evident.
As for Ireland versus Britain, that conflict was exacerbated by Continental powers, especially since the Reformation.
the muslim birth rate is sharing ahead in Europe as elsewhere...while the birthrates amongst non muslims seems to be falling in those same locales.
This spells trouble across the board.
Operation Sea Lion:

The IRA was more than willing to assist with it.
And after a successful invasion of England, Einsatzgruppen were to be deployed to do their thing.
Eurabia marches ahead.
