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.

I don't think a judge can just make up a law and jail you on the back of it for not complying. He could have jailed her for the dunnes incident but he didn't. Also starting she has to stay in jail until she puts on a mask is redicilolous.

You mean any issues she has as a result of her own refusal to follow a very simple legal requirement for the safety of the staff?

Her age and having grandkids is completely irrelevant.

And many people disagree with being legally forced into wearing a Mask and as such will use civil disobiedience as a protest.

However we don't know this womens personal life, we don't know if she has some sort of medical condition such as being bi-polar which may prevent her having rational decisions at times.

Lockdowns can have detrimental effects on a lot of peoples mental health at any age.

People are so quick to judge others, like a mob with pitchforks.

Oh look someone isn't following the new facist laws - quickly burn them at the stake.

Listen to yourselves, what kind of people are you becoming, cold hearted, incompassionate zombies.

The times we are living in - Granny Jailed for refusing too wear a Mask....people jeering that she gets what she deserves - how could she be so irresponsible.

Wow - people just love using fear to indimidate others and to force them to comply with pure evil tryanny.

I pray for God to give this women strenght and courage and help through any mental health issues that she may have.

If god could cure her like that why does he wait til hes asked nicely?

Aside from the rest of your post, like

By the way, there was a pandemic. Id look it up if i were you.

Asking her to wear a mask in court is not tyranny.

And , if god existed, why the **** is he sitting up there giving or letting the woman (or anyone else) suffer mental health issues and refusing to do anything until NaFirinne begs him too? Seems like a psychotic way to use your omnipotence.

I just noticed in the article that they printed that Grannies address that's something they don't even do for convicted peadophiles.

Have you considered that other people might also have search engines and access to the internet before posting absolutely 100% ****e?

That’s not going to happen. From my understanding, she disobeyed a direct order from the judge. She was being disrespectful to the court of law.

greasepalm

Will she be paying the bill if she infected?

Everybody is asked to sanitise and wear a mask while entering a shop , no difference in government building.

Infection has not vanished as some are having parties.

Do yourself a favour use brain and stay safe.

I'm confused by the contempt of court charge because it's not mandatory to wear a mask in court or, indeed, any government building. I read an article yesterday - unions are calling for the mask-wearing regulations to be changed to INCLUDE government buildings (eg Intreo offices).

I checked on the HSE website and courthouses are def not covered by the regulations

Great work by the courts as usual, throwing the dangers to our society into jail and keeping the good ones out.

Meanwhile we keep these guys out of prison to keep room for the grannies.

https://www.courts.ie/news/business-district-court-10th-may-2021

Those attending court are requested to observe public health guidance regarding social distancing, hand hygiene, cough/sneeze etiquette and use of face coverings while in the court building and the court room.

The Court Service has set out guidance on how to access the courts safely and we expect all court users will always observe this guidance.

That are acting like a gobsh1te in the court was probably enough, but I'll leave confirmation to the more legal mind.

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.

So F**k everyone else's chance of future employment and travels?

I've had my fun and that all that matters... Grow up & cop on granny.

Gob****e. I’ve no time for that kind of nonsense. Hopefully they lock her up and throw away the key.

Maybe with some of the loonier locals but in general, most would view her as being a public nuisance during a pandemic that has killed thousands here, millions globally.

Contempt of court. Why did I even bother reading it?

She got what she deserves.
