Granny jailed for refusing to wear a face mask

Big Gerry

Unbelievable sending a Granny to jail for refusing to wear a face mask.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/gran-sent-to-prison-over-refusal-to-wear-mask-40455194.html

A grandmother who “moved from defiance to openly challenge” the State by her steadfast refusal to wear a mask in shops and in court because of Covid-19 was remanded in prison for the weekend.

Yeah in other words contempt, it's right there in the article if you actually read it.

She looked absolutely terrified and shaken in the picture

I’d say she would’ve gladly worn a mask for the rest of her life if she could’ve avoided jail

I hope she didn't see what happened to Fran in Love/Hate when he got locked up :eek:

That would be horrific

If you are at that stage of life, and not bothered about future employment or foreign travels, depending on your beliefs about whether or not you are harming others by not wearing the mask, sure there is no big deal really about spending a bit of time in jail. It will probably even do your reputation good around your area for standing up against the system.

Serves her right. I wonder did she get the vaccine?

I guess you could always check your 5G coverage when near her to find out :pac:

I don't know how it's come to this all she needed was a reasonable excuse, no cert or anything like that is required.

How do you not know? The reports say she was verbally abusive

Her family sound like they want to disown her.
She sounds like she likes looking for trouble.

If it wasn't COVID mask guidelines, it would be something else IMO.

Good enough for her.

Not unbelievable, she behaved like a stupid vindictive idiot and cares for noone but her own bloody ego, stuck up and self righteous behaviour and she got locked up for the weekend with a conviction for her troubles. Shes 66 she should have some bloody cop on but is instead engaging in fantasy land bull.

No sympathy for this woman. I presume the courts will now jail everyone that is in contempt of court in relation to covid.

Unless it's a wedding marquee you're organising.

Unfortunately there’s no shortage of self centered arseholes like her.

She sounds like she is a real pain in the neck wasting police time with her stupid selfess right to not wear a mask for the protection of others who she could not care less about .She would most likely argue with the door at home just for the sake of it .

The store manager mentioned in the article works in my shop now, one of my colleagues asked him about this and apparently she went into several shops in clonakilty pulling this no mask nonsense and verbally abusing staff.

She's not, by any chance, Gemma's granny, is she?

"Citizen refuses to wear a facemask in contravention of public health regulations and has been accused of contempt of court".

Fixed.

Ah biko you never fully read the articles do you? She hasn’t been sentenced for that offence yet.

Margaret Buttimer (66) – who was previously described before Clonakilty District Court as “an enigma” – will be sentenced on Monday after being remanded in custody for three days for repeatedly refusing to wear a mask when she appeared before the court.

Age is no excuse.

ClosedAccountFuzzy

She’s a 66 year old woman. My grandmother was successfully running two businesses at that age, doing yoga and hitting the gym 3 days a week and jetting off to the canaries.

Convenient and patronising nonsense in this thread.

Do we have to add these terms like “grandmother” as if that somehow changes everything.

What has the fact she is a granny got to do with it? Are any of us who have grandchildren subject to more relaxed laws than everyone else?
