The Defenders of Coolock: Voices of a Community Standing for Ireland 🇮🇪

In this video, I take you to the heart of the protest in Coolock, Dublin, where local residents have gathered at the iconic Paint Factory wall to make their voices heard. This is not just a wall—it’s a symbol of the community’s stand against the establishment of a migrant centre in their neighbourhood. At this key location, I speak with the passionate defenders of Coolock who are standing up for their community and for Ireland. Through these conversations, you’ll get an insight into their concerns, their sense of pride, and the strong connection they feel to their local area. The Paint Factory wall has become the focal point of this protest, where the people of Coolock are making a stand that resonates beyond their neighbourhood. This video captures the voices and emotions of those at the centre of the action, offering a respectful and positive portrayal of a community determined to protect what they hold dear.
