Gemma O'Doherty appeared before the High Court on 10 April 2024 after her arrest, accused of contempt for allegedly breaching an injunction against harassing Edel Campbell.

Mr Justice Conor Dignam released her from Garda custody and adjourned the application to later that week, allowing her time to obtain legal advice and relevant documents.

The injunction restrains O'Doherty from harassing or intimidating Campbell and from publishing confidential material or images of Campbell and her late son. Campbell's proceedings concern publication of her son's image.

O'Doherty told the judge she had never harassed Campbell and was not prepared to comply with what she called an unlawful injunction. She denies wrongdoing; the contempt allegation remained unresolved at this hearing.
