Edel Campbell gains short-notice order in harassment case

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Edel Campbell received permission from the High Court to serve short notice of a motion concerning alleged harassment on 17 July 2023. Her lawyers sought disclosure of the identities and contact details linked to three Twitter accounts; the report describes no final decision on that request.

The application followed an injunction restraining Gemma O’Doherty from harassing Campbell and publishing images or confidential material about Campbell and her late son. Campbell’s son died by suicide, and the injunction also required removal of images from media O’Doherty owned or operated while the action remained pending.

Campbell’s lawyers said the three accounts had published statements allegedly breaching the injunction. They sought disclosure orders against Twitter and O’Doherty, including an order requiring O’Doherty to say whether she controlled the accounts; those requests remained unresolved in the report.
