"Paul Nolan (36) stood outside the IPAS centre at St John's House, High Street, Tallaght, Dublin 24, on August 22 and 26 last year, and questioned teenage boys, a young woman, and three middle-aged men who were staying at the facility."
Paul Nolan, 36, identified himself as a citizen journalist and YouTuber. Nolan stood outside the IPAS centre at St John's House, High Street, Tallaght, Dublin 24, on August 22 and 26 last year. He questioned teenage boys, a young woman, and three middle-aged men who were staying at the facility. Online posts arising from those incidents were judged to have risked identifying asylum seekers. Nolan was jailed as the first person convicted in a landmark case addressing online publications that could reveal the identities of asylum seekers in Ireland. The sentence establishes a legal consequence for risking disclosure of asylum seekers' identities online.
