Gemma O'Doherty says hospital's action 'outrageous'
Summary
Gemma O'Doherty opposed a High Court injunction sought by Dublin's Beaumont Hospital to remove videos she posted online. The hospital, represented by Director of Nursing Ms Marie Murray, claimed the videos alleged staff were forced to receive experimental Covid‑19 injections that killed thousands, and that O'Doherty described the hospital as a "death camp" and made other defamatory statements. O'Doherty argued the injunction was "spurious and outrageous", a waste of public money, and that her videos were based on scientific facts and whistle‑blower testimony. She maintained she was a journalist reporting on staff experiences and would not be silenced. The court heard submissions from both sides and reserved judgment, with the judge to deliver a decision soon. The case remains at the injunction stage, with no outcome yet announced.
