Judge Devins issues warrant for imprisoned protestor![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Objection to bail was a pure waste of time and money' – Judge Geoffrey Browne Yesterday in Westport District Court, Judge Mary Devins issued a bench warrant for a Shell to Sea protestor, who was appearing in the High Court, appealing his remanding in custody at the same time. While the Gardaí in Westport didn't seek to have the bench warrant issued and informed the court that protestor Eoin Lawless was appearing in the High Court at that time, Judge Devins insisted upon issuing a bench warrant. Meanwhile, this morning in Harristown District Court three Shell to Sea protestors (including Mr. Lawless) appeared, who were released from custody yesterday following a High Court appeal to their remand. Upon entering the courtroom Mr. Lawless was again placed under arrest arising from the bench warrant issued by Judge Devins. However the siting Harristown District Court Judge Brown released Mr Lawless from custody on the same bail conditions as were granted in the High Court appeal yesterday [1]. |

Jump To Comment: 1She has exposed herself now as vindictive and a serial waster of resources, a blot on the judiciary's conscience (if they collectively could ever have one) and creatively incompetent to boot. She's the ultimate end of the practice by recent Fianna Fáil-led governments throwing around judicial appointments 'like smarties' to their solicitor hacks and hackettes. No training needed; just an eagerness to do Shell's dirty work in the courts, and then prate solemnly with what she imagines to be wit while dispensing 'justice'.
And before she starts flattering herself, she'd do well to remember that she's only a very small part of the overall problem.
Solidarity to Eoin, and our other defendants too! Shell to hell!
