    What did she say that was racist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,035 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    There's a video https://gemmaodoherty.com/videos/. I can't listen through 18 mins of the sound of a cat in the heat so will wait for someone else to point out the point in the video where the racist abuse happens.

    At 13m20s one of the Airport Police says: "Are you okay there, yeah?" and she then goes on what sounds like a drunken rant, saying stuff like:
    "He's not even Irish .. like a bloody Stasi Police officer .. some foreign security guard"

    The funny thing is (at 14m37s) she says you can't even walk in your own Airport without being stopped by some foreign security guard, as she records a guy walking along listening to his headphones who clearly is not being stopped :P

    Haha thats fantastic. Great timing. Poor oul scone, nothing better to do than walk around outside the airport at night on her own shouting at people.

    Shes great entertainment when she goes fully manic.

    I can’t believe I’m actually siding with her supporters. The semi state DAA should be apolitical and not be engaging in tit for tats with members of the public. There’s courts and policing to deal with this. if the member of staff felt he was racially abused then he is entitled to report this. No matter how crazy her opinions are, she shouldn’t be censored as it’s only increasing the number of her followers.

    Bus Éireann, Iarnród Éireann and other semi-states deal with this on a day to day basis and don’t retort to it.

    Nut job but let her be a nut job

    The DAA reported her to twitter for racial abuse as they maintain that she uploaded a video that contains racial abuse of one of her staff. There is no censorship. The DAA have asked Twitter if she has broken the rules she agreed to when she joined twitter. Knowing her she probably has.

    And i dont see any tit for tat from the DAA. perhaps you can point our where they have done that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,170 ✭✭✭✭Ash.J.Williams


    at the end of the day it's their premises and there's a loon running around abusing staff, filming and live streaming, if she tried that in the US she would be at risk of being terminated, so she's getting off lightly.

    Agree but there was no need to play the race card imo. Typical laziness from daa but it got them cheap likes as she is a known racist

    Publicly replying to her comment and announcing to the world that they have reported her to twitter. accusing her in the public domain of racial abuse towards an employee in that video when what she said in that video is open to interpretation and they could potentially be sued for it. GDPR is probably another area that could land them in hot water here.

    If any state department or semi-state has an issue with her behaviour then they go to AGS and the courts. All they have done here is given here more publicity.

    If I own a Supervalu store and you come in and steal a product and I try/have you arrested. Later you curse me out of it on Twitter for selling out of date sausages, Id imagine I can’t turn around on social media and make an allegation that you stole from my store. Businesses have got into trouble recently for posting CCTV on Facebook of alleged crimes. Again this should of been dealt with discreetly and if the security guard felt he suffered racial abuse then reported it to An Garda Síochána accordingly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,084 ✭✭✭TaurenDruid


    So your answer is "I was completely mistaken to mention GDPR, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Gemma's latest stunt out at the airport, or Dublin Airport's reaction."

    Glad we clarified that, so.

    DAA didnt post CCTV. They reported one of gemmas own posts that contained one of her screaching videos that she took in contravention of DAA bye-laws. So, again, what does GDPR have to do with this?

    The only one posting video is Gemma, she broke the by laws of Dublin airport and she knew this. She is an attention whore taking in the money from gullible fools.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,479 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    I cant decide if
    A She genuinely btlieves what she posts
    B She has had some sort of mentsl breakdown
    C She doesnt believe what she is posting but just wants people to get outraged at her

    But that exactly where I'm coming from...kinda.

    I'm proposing she's deliberately being outrageous just to get attention. And she's getting it.

    I'd be more with C but I don't think she's doing it to get ppl outraged, I think she's doing it to get ppl thinking about the fundamental issues of Ireland being part of the EU and the consequences of being part of it.

    And to be fair to that, does the ordinary Irish Citizen have any idea what it means to be part of the EU? Yes they have seen the benefits but do they know the negatives. The UK left because of the negatives don't forget.

    So all I'm suggesting is...it's not plausible she's nut's or having a mental breakdown...as on the face of it one might think, rather I think she's being really clever to get ppl thinking about issues that are not popular to discuss because of a very left leaning attitude in the media, in politics and in this country in general.

    you are giving her far too much credit based on little or no evidence. The only thing she gets people thinking is "jaysis would she ever shut up"

    Its perfectly plausible

    Many of her actions are completely irrational

    Its hard to believe you dont see her deliberately looking for outrage. Really really difficult to believe.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You're having a laugh.

    Britain voted to leave the EU by the narrowest of margins, largely because they'd been lied to loudly and vociferously by a segment of Tories for the last few years and quietly and insidiously by the right-wing press since they joined.

    Where to?

    The airport?

    Cherrywood?

    Is it true that when she ran for president some family members put out a statement urging coucils not to vote for her as she was in a bad decline? tbh Veronica Guerin comments aside she only publicly went loop da loop from the shock of failing to be nominated.

    Even then she wasn't at the level of screaming at motorists driving past building sites.

    I saw it claimed before but Google gives nothing concrete.

    Another Twitter ban it seems. For a week this time. She been tweeting under the ACI account apparently which is skirting dangerously close to getting banned for life.

    An interesting point.

    It would have to be something pretty dramatic to keep her in the headlines.


    As late as the Google protests she always tread a fine line of keeping on the right side of the law. Example being, as soon as the Gardai started looking at the Google protest intently, she ran, too cowardly to be arrested for her beliefs.

    Her in your facedness with guards seen at the count centres and the airport lately shows she has truly gone off the deep end, what little limits and fears she had beforehand are gone.

    I'd somewhat bet her psychosis, bad enough after failing to be elected for Europe, has seriously accelerated since her laughable return at the GE (she seemed to regard the European and Fingal election by election results as a moral victory, that her profile was climbing.)

    You truly never know. If she is permanently banned, the next we might hear of her on the news is when she has a Travis Bickle moment, not unlike Michael Stone and his "performance art" at Stormont.

    I know a leftie who routinely uses Facebook to call for the execution of members of FG. If he has ever come to the attention of the Gardai they would merely have had a good laugh reading this manchilds posts.

    As for Gemma, I wouldn't be surprised if they are closely watching her. Her manic spending on her causes and her detachment from friends and family portray an image of someone with little to lose.

    He never ran for public office. He's entitled to his hobby if he wants.

    Gemma has run for public office on four occasions now. This means she should be wide open to more ridicule.

    Plus she's an absolute kunt.

    I wonder does she ever have that uncouth knacker Dee Wall over for a girls night in? Probably checks the silverware before she leaves.
