A peaceful protest is scheduled for Sunday at 3pm in Dundalk’s Town Square, as locals gather to voice concerns over government immigration policies. Organised under the banner “Dundalk Says No,” the event follows a series of demonstrations in the town addressing issues like housing and resource allocation.
The protest invites residents to bring Irish flags and join a unified, non-violent assembly. Organizers have promised an open platform for speakers, with groups like Wakeupeire encouraged to share their views. The event echoes similar rallies across Ireland, including a recent large-scale march in Dublin. A strong Garda presence is expected to ensure safety, following past protests that saw tensions between anti-immigration groups and counter-demonstrators.
Dundalk’s 2024 protests over plans to house refugees in Seatown Place drew significant crowds and occasional arrests for public order offenses. The demonstration highlights ongoing debates about immigration’s impact on local communities. While organisers stress a peaceful gathering, counter-protests advocating for inclusivity may also occur, reflecting the polarized views in the region.
