Indymedia.ie (Independent Media Centre Ireland) is the web-presence of an Irish group of media activists that are affiliated to the world-wide Indymedia network. It operates on the principles of Open publishing and the Creative Commons. Contributions that adhere to the publishing guidelines are made by anyone that has pictures, audio or text to contribute and are published immediately. The underlying idea of the site is to allow publishing of information without the intervention of "professionals" or other opinion shapers. The site has been the host of several media-scoops which were missed by mainstream media, most notably that of the footage showing an attack by the Gardai on peaceful Reclaim the Streets carnival-goers.
