ANTIFA & Saoradh fail to block march against censorship and corruption in the media

Sinn Féin rejects Saoradh along with ANTIFA Ireland failed to block a march against censorship to state broadcaster RTÉ in Dublin yesterday. The protesters were marching over a range of issues including what they believe is biased, govt-lead reporting on Covid-19 in the media.

The march took off from the GPO but at O'Connell Bridge, Saoradh and ANTIFA had set up a blockade.

The anti-censorship protesters are also known for highlighting cases of paedophilia in Ireland which they believe the media have covered up. They marched through Saoradh and ANTIFA's blockade with chants of "Paedo scum, off our streets".

A member of Saoradh is suspected of being responsible for the killing of journalist Lyra McKee who had been investigating paedophilia before she was shot, while the founder of ANTIA Ireland, Patrick Corcoran, who worked at the Dept of Arts, Sport and Tourism was caught with over 7,000 images and 21 videos of child pornography on his work computer but avoided jail.
