At Killarney District Court, Co. Kerry on Tuesday 15th January 2008, Mr Niall Harnett of Doonagore, Liscannor, Co Clare was acquitted of 2 public order charges following a ruling by Judge James O'Connor, who found that there was no evidence of any crime committed and dismissed the charges after a full hearing of the matter which lasted about 1˝ hours. Garda Brendan Cronin KY144 who initiated the charges, and Garda David Hannon KY180 both testified in court, but cross-examination by Mr Harnett, who represented himself, revealed that the Gardaí had neither evidence nor reasonable cause to suspect that Mr Harnett had committed any offence. Inspector Barry O’Rourke, prosecuting for the DPP, never even suggested foul play either and could only resort to smear tactics and prejudice in raising Mr Harnett’s Shell to Sea profile as ‘a protester with an interest in shoving his nose into business that didn’t concern him’, and had to be reminded by the judge that this was no crime. read full story / add a comment ![]()

Mayo County Council (MCC) came back before Judge Kenny on Tue 31st July, for a full hearing of their application for an order of injunction against the Rossport Solidarity Camp (RSC) to “cease the unauthorised development of lands between the foreshore and the Northern Boundary of the town land of Dooncarton/Glengad by erecting tents, buildings and other structures and ancillary facilities for camping or habitation”. On foot of an ‘ex-parte’ (without notice to the camp) application to Judge Donagh McDonagh on Fri 20th July, MCC were granted an ‘interim order of injunction’, claiming urgency that the camp was causing irreparable damage to part of the Glenamoy Bog Complex at Dooncarton/Glengad, a candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC). The camp dispute that any such damage is occurring and say that this cSAC is all the more protected by it’s presence, given Shell’s plans for the area, and where their unauthorised developments are allowed without planning permission, facilitated by MCC. read full story / add a comment
