The Truth About Ireland
An entire country has ground to a halt — and the government is reaching for the army.
Ireland is in open revolt. Truckers, farmers, and bus drivers — ordinary people who have never protested in their lives — have blockaded highways, ports, and the country's only operating oil refinery to demand relief from punishing fuel taxes. It costs the equivalent of nearly $1,000 Canadian to fill a tractor. The government's response has been to threaten to deploy the military against its own people.
"An irresistible force meets an immovable object." — Irish protester, speaking to Rebel News
We've seen this script before — in Canada in 2022, when Trudeau responded to peaceful truckers by invoking martial law, seizing bank accounts, and jailing protest leaders. Ireland is following the same playbook. The world needs to see what happens next. Ireland's state broadcaster RTÉ won't tell you. We will.
Alexa Lavoie and Efron Monsanto are already in Ireland.
Rebel News journalist Alexa Lavoie and videographer Efron Monsanto are on the ground right now, continuing the coverage Ezra Levant began when he flew to Dublin to document the protests from the start. Together they bring deep experience reporting from major demonstrations where the mainstream media gets the story wrong.
Alexa has covered major protests and civil unrest across North America and Europe, including the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. She has a record of getting to the truth when access is limited and official narratives don't hold up.
Efron has worked alongside Rebel News reporters in fast-moving, high-pressure environments in the field, bringing the human reality of these events to audiences who would otherwise only see what the regime media chooses to show them.
We don't take government money. We depend on you.
RTÉ receives hundreds of millions of euros from Irish taxpayers to broadcast the government's version of events. We take nothing from any government. That's the only reason we can stand in front of these farmers and truckers and tell you what's actually happening.
