    I don't know how many were in the whats app group, do you?
    Obviously someone did.

    Has anything else been released from the WhatsApp group?
    I'm looking for a bit of context before I dust down my pitchfork.

    If it was a case of "Be the hokey lads, would you look at this nut running around in the nip!!", then obviously it's indefensible.

    Is there a chance it could have been posted as part of a discussion on best practice when dealing with mental illness?

    I see nothing wrong if it was the latter.

    Bit of a stretch. The subsequent posting to Facebook would nullify that argument IMO.

    Was it subsequently posted to Facebook by the same guy?
    If so, he's in serious trouble regardless of context in the WhatsApp group.

    How many people turned up to the protest/vigil?

    I read all of her articles. She was 100% against anything the government did. It's all well and good to call the taoiseach a cunt but at the end of the day we need a functioning government and no amount of drug addicts will change that.

    I note there is an update on this incident - https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/garda-who-filmed-tragic-journalist-dara-quigley-to-avoid-prosecution-37184945.html

    No prosecution for the garda who recorded her.

    The very least they should be named and lose their job.

    I am by no means defending the Garda but what charge could he/she have been prosecuted under? They're still facing disciplinary action and rightly so.

    GSOC are an utter waste of time.

    Is there no laws against sharing naked imagery of people without thier consent?

    To be fair she was in a public place, the scumbag who recorder her and put it on the internet should be sacked and named publicly but there isn't much you can do when it comes to criminal charges.

    Guess so. I dunno why I thought they'd be some varient of "revenge porn" style laws here they could attempt to use but it is the Gardaí afterall, wouldn't expect them to go after one of their own.

    I don't think someone walking naked in a public place would fall under the "revenge porn" category.
