Outside the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court this afternoon
RTE reports:
Charges have been formally dropped against the remaining Jobstown protesters, with the exception of one person who remains charged with criminal damage.
A number of people were due to go on trial this week but had been informed recently the Director of Public Prosecutions would not be going ahead with the prosecution.
At the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court this afternoon, lawyers for the DPP told the court they were entering a “nolle prosequi”, bringing an end to the prosecution against the remaining defendants.
One person remains charged with criminal damage and will appear in court in six weeks.

Fantastic! Justice at last. Red faces for the establishment.
That means a 15 year old boy is solely responsible for the false imprisonment of 2 women, who were surrounded by gardai at the time in a car where the driver couldn’t find reverse.
Great news for the remaining defendants, but a sickener for the kid who didn’t have youtube evidence of garda lies to exonerate him.
It is awful for that 15 year old, I hope his case is appealed.
Presidential pardon, if such a thing exists. Oohhh sorry, sure isn’t the President a Labour man.? Not a hope then.
…but a sickener for the kid who didn’t have
youtube evidence of garda lies to exonerate hima jury to decide on the verdict.Hopefully he will learn a valuable lesson
JUDGE: “What on earth is that smell?”
OUR LEARNED FRIEND FOR THE PROSECUTION: “Your honour, if I may, I’m afraid we may have ‘entered a nolle prosequi’.”
JUDGE: “Oh my word. Does anyone in the court have a clean pair of trousers they can spare?”
Right wing psy op fails, Leo the wimp..
These charges should never have been brought, it was a political prosecution from start to finish.
I don’t ‘DO’ WikiPedia myself.
Can one of you update Joan’s page..?
– if it hasn’t already been done.
Thanks.
Up yours Burton.
It’s an indictment on all of us that this case happened at all and that the people responsible for bringing it to court and the people who lied in court will never be punished.
Not me. I’m innocent.
I take it there will be no repercussions for Abuse of Process, or flagrant misuse of public funds?
Who is this Nolle Prosequi woman?
Was she in Crossroads on ITV years ago?
ITV?
Seriously, ITV.?
It was all UTV where I grew up, and no…
You’re thinking of Hilda Ogden…
…had a husband called Stan..?
Now you remember.
And the lodger
Who was on the bins with Stan
What was his name again?
He’s was knocking around with the Royals there for a bit
And the flying ducks
Loved them too

We need to investigate who directed the Guards to set up and run Operation “Mizen”
All this has it roots with criminalisation of the Shell to Sea protestors, who directs and
instructs the Guards, is there in Government, well concealed from the public and the
electorate a unit that instigates these actions once the populace takes to the streets
and fights back,,,,,and it happens irrespective of what party is in power.
Will they next time up the ante and rely like the Spanish did at the weekend….send in
Riot Units…..?
