Much like what happened in the wake of the Capitol Riot in Washington DC, anti-lockdown protestors have been claiming that the people involved in the violence in Dublin were 'antifa scum', or even gardaí, write Aoife Moore, Paul Hosford, and Cormac O’Keeffe.

The violence seen at last week's anti-lockdown protest in Dublin has drawn a focus on, not just the simmering tensions around the movements, but also those who organise and use the demonstrations for political gain.
