The government is exploring whether it can cancel the Irish passport obtained by Tommy Robinson, the British far-right anti-Islam campaigner who has been cultivating links with the Irish anti-immigration movement.
The Sunday Times has learned that Robinson’s use of an Irish passport is being examined by the Department of Foreign Affairs after his detention by authorities in Canada in June over alleged immigration offences.
An immigration form issued by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, stated that both his country of birth and country of citizenship was Ireland.
