NUJ 'deeply disturbed' by cameraman's treatment at meeting on asylum seekers

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has described the treatment of a TG4 cameraman at a public meeting on Achill island earlier this week as “deeply disturbing”.

Cameraman Fergus Sweeney was asked to leave the public meeting held on Wednesday night to discuss proposed emergency accommodation for asylum seekers at a hotel on the island, and was subjected to jeers and taunts of “out, out, out”.
