Publisher Gemma O'Doherty has asked a High Court judge to recuse himself from hearing her case after she said she had not been aware that he had previously been a barrister for former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan .
The case taken against Ms O'Doherty is over her alleged harassment of Edel Campbell, from Kingscourt in Co Cavan, the mother of a young man who died by suicide in 2021. The injunction was granted following the publication of a photograph of Ms Campbell's son Diego Gilsenan in a newspaper which she edits called The Irish Light.
She claimed this went against a law known as 'champerty and maintenance' which prevents the third-party funding of legal actions.She also complained that some of her supporters had not been able to access a packed court 18 today, with many of them having to wait in an adjoining room, after all the seats in court were taken.Judge Dignam said there were physical limitations on any space and that no other court room was available.
