Did anyone see yesterdays Irish Indo?

The Irish Indo yesterday printed a story where it quoted Michael McDowell as saying that the anti deportation protesters who protested against him on Monday were sent by the IRA.

I thought the protest was organised by the Anti Racism Network.
McDowell said that the protesters had been sent by the IRA to raise the race issue.
I would be really surprised if the IRA or Sinn Fein for that matter ever sent anyone anywhere to raise any other issue other than the "Irish" issue.
Who did organise the protest??
