This video investigates how Gardaí /Police treated media and citizen journalists during an immigration protest outside the Citywest Hotel in Dublin — one of Ireland’s main IPAS (International Protection Accommodation Service) centres.
It examines press freedom, policing, and the role of independent media at immigration-related protests in Ireland, including how GB News Dougie Beattie, Rebel News Ezra Lavant, and Irish citizen journalists such as Bogtrotter, Philip Dwyer, and 420 Audits were treated while filming.
Through footage and commentary, I explore whether Garda responses to media at Citywest reflect a wider pattern in how immigration protests are being managed and documented. The discussion highlights press access, accountability, and transparency — key issues for journalists, videographers, and anyone covering Irish immigration and asylum topics.
All clips are used under fair dealing for reporting, analysis, and public-interest documentation.
