Suspect 'TV Crew' flee when asked for ID.

This was communicated to me by one of the stewards. He suspects that the men were not a genuine TV crew but police provacatuers.

Saturday at Shannon near the Drumgeely roundabout, a man wearing a suit with an unmarked TV camera and a guy with a sound mike were seen pushing into the Black Bloc.
The guy was getting right in there face with the camera and provoking them. A steward apporached the 'cameraman' and asked him to produce his press card.
The man refused to show any ID or press card.
The steward said that as the cameraman was behaving in a way likely to lead to a breach of the peace that the steward was going to call a cop over. As the steward motioned to a nearby Garda, the 'camera crew' fled through the crowd.
Reportedly they wer also spotted filming from a footbridge which was closed to the public.


If anyone saw this, or a picture or video footage of it, let us know.
