Videos of a protest by some 12 masked men outside Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman’s home that sparked calls for new laws were “sensationalised” and edited, a garda policing the scene said.

The videos, which were widely circulated on social media, were “not a true and accurate representation” of what happened and were “disinformation”, said Garda Mark Ferris, Garda Representative Association (GRA) representative for Dublin West.
