  1. This walking, talking, objection-making human egg won’t bring this case. He very clearly did obstruct the car and him being found not guilty of “false imprisonment” is not the same thing as saying he didn’t block her car and trap her in a heated protest where they had valid concerns for their saftey. We all know he categorically played a part in that. Shocking phrasing from The Examiner to say he was “cleared of all wrongdoing”. Obviously not, he was found not guilty on very specific charges.

  2. He had to get free legal aid for his jobstown case, I hope his situation has improved so that he can afford this case on his own dime…

  3. Whatever about the veracity of her comments, how in god’s name did she end up talking about an eleven year old incident by someone she isn’t even standing against in the first place?

    Say what you want Murphy but yes I think people can have a view that it was violent and criminal. Even if a jury found it not so. He was a ring leaderr

    >”If they withdraw the public order unit, do we agree to let her go”

    They were anything but peaceful protests. Joan Burton was in danger and theres no chance the PO unit could leave. Protestors were violenting trying to restrain her and stop her from leaving. They gave chase and tried to block her escape car.

    Heres a protestor telling Burton shes a sick woman and she should be hung.

    Heres the peaceful protest with items and calling her a hooar.

  5. She’s courting the far right so she is

    They’re absolutely not going to vote for Connolly but theres a chance some of them will vote for her to own the left

    Paul should have kept his head down till after the election, this will only spur them on

  6. Between all the planning objections and threats to sue his opponents I’d say his solicitor loves seeing Angry Paul storming in the front door.

  7. These 2 candidates are a joke. 14 years of Michael D to one of these clowns

  8. It is actually quite common that a criminal case collapses and the former defendant sues for libel; and it gets thrown out of court. I’d love to see Murphy take the case

  9. What a whinger. Does he ever have anything positive to say?

  10. the most hardcore male feminists deep down are secret misogynists so heather is right

  11. That was Paul Murphy jumping on the water protest bandwagon after about 6 marches through Dublin and making it about him IIRC.

  12. Jaysus Heather, ya catch more flies with honey than vinegar. This has been the most unrelenting nasty campaign FG have ever done. I couldn’t tell you anything about Heather’s background, life or policies, only that she doesn’t like the other candidate.

  13. There’s an awful lot of ‘threatening’ legal action in Ireland. Not so much ‘legal action’.

  14. Hilarious seeing largely the same ole usernames running same ole FFG spin up and down this sub.

  15. Typical whiny hard left response – if your “ally” is the likes of Murphy it says a lot about your own values, theres a reason the Irish electorate roundly rejects the vile hate & begrudgery Murphy and his ilk bring to Irish politics and the attack on Joan Burton set the bar for all the other loons that followed….

  16. “The letter adds Mr Murphy had been exposed to “odium, ridicule, and contempt”. Although his solicitors acknowledged this has nothing to do with Mrs Humphries’ comments”
