Dublin, Ireland is significant to Sherlock Holmes (2009) because of the Irish folk song "Rocky Road to Dublin" performed by The Dubliners was played during the boxing scene. Playing this song brings the irish culture into the film and carrys an energy into the boxing scene. I found this information from The Mayo News which is an online newspaper that did a review on the film. This source is an example of gatekeeper because as a newspaper website they are allowed to control what articles are plublished and which auidances can access it. Mapping this location on COVE adds a grassroots layer by bringing attention to the irish influence that is potrayed in the film.
