Violence in the North and Dublin's illegal clamp cutters
From Behind the Story by RTÉ News
June 10, 2026 · 30 min
About this episode
The episode discusses the racist violence in Northern Ireland and the issue of illegal clamp cutting in Dublin.
On today's Behind the Story, Paul and Fran examine the racist violence that erupted in Northern Ireland following a stabbing incident, exploring the scapegoating of migrants and economic insecurity in fuelling unrest, and how social media can amplify tensions and spread misinformation. They also investigate why nearly one-in-ten Dublin City Council wheel clamps are being illegally removed or destroyed - and whether motorists are taking enforcement into their own hands.
