Maybe not mentally ill in a medical sense, but they’re a danger to themselves and others around them. They are deeply disturbed people lacking in empathy, selfish and brainwashed by far right/nazi propaganda.

Agree with the judge that it is a sad story indeed. Having lived peacefully and abided by the law for 65 years this is the cross she decided to die on? And this is how she'll be remembered by family and friends.

The court previously heard that Ms Buttimer has refused to have a Covid vaccination and that she visits her elderly mother without putting on a mask.

Seriously, what the actual fudge is wrong with people like this.

Not wearing a mask!? Six months in jail for you!

This is the guy who got the guy out of hospital who subsequently died of covid, right. I would have thought this was the thing that he got charged for, and not the relatively trivial offense of travelling more than 5km

Jaysus, the anti-mask lads are really REALLY bad at this lol

This lad claimed discrimination on the basis of disability but offered zero proof that he actually had a disability.

Hilarious stuff altogether lol.

I believe on that same day of the woman's sentence, an IT worker who made child abuse material and was caught with nearly 2000 such images "continues towards" rehabilitation rather than be sent to jail........ there is a particular sort who will tie themselves in knots to refrain from having to acknowledge how ridiculous this sentence is as well as the justice system

Is this not "racist nonsense" using your own standards?

Find it odd how much sympathy was given towards that Joe guy when he died. No he wasn't tricked by the Italian guy. Joe made his own decision. He was an anti vaxxer and was previously seen beside that twat Ben Gilroy.

Why the sympathy when he dies from a decision he made? Italian guy didn't force him or physically sign him out, Joe himself did.

You obviously didn't see the videos. That poor lad only left the hospital after a serious amount of coercion.

It's generally considered impolite to criticise the recently dead.

While I agree with you that those sentences are ridiculous, hers is for repeated violations of the same law and her lack of remorse.

We didn't hear much of this reported in these parts. But hey, when you're of a certain political persuasion it's always a meek apology followed by "lessons learned". Until next time of course, and then it's just rinse and repeat. Next up - Climate Change.

Looks like the hotel were quite obstructive.

[Edward Walsh SC, for John Sweeney] suggested a guest in a hotel would be alarmed to think that gardaí could simply walk in to view security camera footage at any stage. "God knows what they might see," he said.
