There's no fathoming fascist logic. But there is a strand in far-right british nationalism/ fascism which in the past has called for "Ireland for the Irish" as an extension of "Britain for the British". Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Oswald Mosley advocate a position along those lines?
I got the idea that Mosley wanted Ireland nominally independent, as a Jersey-type tax haven, & a safe, cheap, place for him to broadcast Fascist radio. He expected the Catholic Church hierarchy to get in bed with Fascism as it had done in Spain.
The Mosley estate still owns real estate in Ireland. (check wikipedia) So that kind of bears out what Chrissie was saying just above - but his plans wouldn't have been too far removed from the usual "larder" of England.
There is something though about the pitch on migrants by the fascists we're used to which might mislead us as to where they're getting popular. the data from a recent site hack, of what had been thought of as a British & Brit "englander" only umbrella, indicates that a huge amount of interest is being generated in the east and Balkans of Europe. & it is very interesting looking at the state profiles considering recent events and the proportion of migrants EU enlargement allowed them to export leaving the worst at home. (?) Poland provided the 6th largest amount of posters. Poland & Slovakia together had more posters than Germany. Yet Hungary and the Czech republic didn't. Slovenia with its tiny population had more posters than Ireland & Austria combined. The supposedly poor states of eastern Europe which provide the most legal migrants to Ireland are in fact the most interested in fascism. It is out there in the east where fascism is to be feared and worried and about & it is in their social discourse and on in those terms where it must be countered.
