The event to launch Justin Barrett's National Party had been scheduled for 3pm on Thursday, before the hotel's decision to cancel the booking.
A press release from the National Party on Tuesday showed its opposition to immigration and 'multi-culturalism' in Ireland.
It stated: 'That one party, loyal to the Republic and a sovereign people, dedicated to unity by consent, that one party committed to real and sustainable economic growth, that one party which will speak for the great silent majority who have seen the beginnings of “multi-culturalism” with growing dismay, that one party who will represent that so basic of equalities, the equal right to be alive, that party is the National Party.'
