    The garda helicopter could have whipped up a nice crowd dispersing sandstorm.

    Gems and John a complete joke now. Instead of protests they're just being pranked sort of Jackass style.

    What a pathetic turnout aswell.

    Would be nice to see such a prank on the crowd who were outside the GPO last Saturday. They are planning to do the same next Saturday at 2pm.

    It seems their challenge against the Covid restrictions goes no further. Anything non-Covid related can be posted in the relevant CA thread rather than here

    Thread closed

    And it appears they are "appealing" (not a word I should really associate with them)

    I'm re-opening the thread, but please keep it to the topic of their challenge to coronavirus restrictions. Anyone going off at a tangent can expect to be threadbanned

    From what the judge has said, it seems Gems insistence on “utterly pointless” speeches may cost them. A lot.

    There were no exceptional circumstances raised by the applicants that would allow the court deviate from the normal rule that the losing party should pay the costs of the proceedings according to the Times.

    lol

    Is that not "according to the state's lawyers" rather than the Times?

    RTE's report says O'D complained in court that she had been detained by Gardaí on her way to court... I assume that means the time she was stopped at a checkpoint and started filming? Absolute gowl.

    It's more than fifty thousand.

    Great news.
    All going well it bankrupts the two of them to the point they can’t afford a laptop and internet connection


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,039 ✭✭✭KrustyUCC


    It's more than fifty thousand.

    Together or individually?

    Either way it's good news

    Might give them pause in the future

    Some Irish-American Republican Party racist will probably foot the bill for them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,745 ✭✭✭Brock Turnpike


    No don't they'll refuse to pay, be brought to court over it, and then claim it's discrimination.


  • Registered Users Posts: 603 ✭✭✭Big Vern

    She has already said that they are appealing the case and wont be paying a cent to the un-elected government.

    They got a lot more votes than she did!


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭Bridge93


    Where have the constitutional experts who backed their challenge so belligerently gone. I’d be fascinated to hear their take on the rulings of the court

    Aren't they still in government because of the constitution she loves so much!!!

    Over €50k but under €100k.
    Seems small.

    Brilliant, lock them up so.

    Im sure if you or I didn't pay a 50k debt we'd be dealt with quickly enough.

    It's good news that they will have to pay for their costs. Countries the world over went into great turmoil over this virus and that pair were trouble makers completely ignorant and bling to the reasons restrictions were implemented.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Someone tell Gemma they pay the state not a government.

    Revenue should go in and investigate the pair of them. Will they be declaring any money donated from people for their cause.

    Truth be told, I don't know how the system works about the courts and payments but I read the tweet up above and thought what a load of codswallop from her. It's not the government that is paid when a court fee is paid.


  • Registered Users Posts: 603 ✭✭✭Big Vern


    She is looking for donations already!!!

    Irish Americans likely only support a Pro United Ireland group, not a British fascist front

    The people behind that pair are anti-Irish British nationalists, Gemma is their regional head.

    The people Gemma and John work for hate our constitution, don’t believe Ireland has a right to exist nor do they agree with Irish unification or sovereignty.

    Everyone knows this. Gemma’s loyalist friends burn our flag regularly, she refuses to answer these things on twitter

    Irish media have always chosen to ignore the far British right in Ireland, so as to blame Sinn Féin or something
