RTÉ Investigates: Inside the Protests
Over a 6 month period, RTÉ Investigates reporter Barry O'Kelly filmed at protests against accommodation for asylum seekers around 105. The programme documents people with genuine concerns about the availability of local services - for them, and asylum seekers - and others with more hardline outlooks. The programme also documents how fierce opposition developed at certain sites, and sometimes spun out of control; including at one site in North Dublin which exploded into rioting in July 2024. RTÉ Investigates was inside the site at the time, and captured racial abuse; intimidation of, and attacks on workers; and arson attacks.
