“Summonses have been served on people in connection with a protest in Jobstown in Tallaght last year during which Tánaiste Joan Burton and her special advisor were trapped in a car for over two hours.”

“Two Anti-Austerity Alliance councillors and a sitting TD are among 27 people facing charges including false imprisonment, violent disorder, and criminal damage.”

“Gardaí served summonses on a number of those people last night including councillors Kieran Mahon and Mick Murphy…The adults are to appear at the Courts of Criminal Justice on 2 November, the juveniles at the Childrens’ Court on 29 October.”

The Irish Times reports:

“A judge has thrown out a Revenue prosecution brought against a company owned by Independent TD Michael Lowry because a court summons was served at an out-of-date address. Judge John O’Neill ruled he was making “no order” in relation to criminal proceedings against Garuda Ltd, a refrigeration company owned by the former cabinet minister and
Independent TD for Tipperary North, which trades under the name of Streamline Enterprises.”
…
“Summons were issued by Dublin District Court on December 10th last and served by a garda at company’s accountants in Foxrock on January 16th. By then, Garuda Ltd had changed its registered office to Thurles, in Co. Tipperary but that information was not updated on the CRO’s website until January 14th.”
…
“[Ms O’Neill, for the State] said the Foxrock address had been Garuda Ltd’s registered office for 17 years, until it was changed in January. It was still their registered address on December 10th when the summonses were initially applied for, she had also said.”

The request [from Garda whistleblower John Wilson] revealed that from a total of 1,688,349 Garda summons issued, 646,509 were not served which totals 38 per cent.
A Garda press offer said:”…there are a multiplicity of reasons for non-service including: change of address, incorrect name recorded, incorrect details recorded, summons issued and alternative charges preferred, deceased persons, where persons cannot be located, persons residing outside the jurisdiction, re-issue of summons, summonses served by post returned un-served etc.”
