A volunteer group that monitors far-right and anti-immigration activity online has sent dozens of reports to the police since November 2025, writes The Guardian.

The group, Accountability Project Northern Ireland, warned, among other things, of an "attack list" and that right-wing extremists were increasingly focusing on apartment buildings.

According to the reports, the list of addresses has been circulating in right-wing extremist groups since August 2025 and was sent to the police in January 2026.

The addresses were among those affected in the violence that erupted over the past week.
