Glasnevin Trust secured High Court orders against Twitter, reported on 30 November 2017, to identify an anonymous account holder. The orders concerned allegedly defamatory statements about the cemetery operator and its staff.

Mr Justice Paul Gilligan declined to order Twitter to remove the material. He said the Trust could seek removal after the user was identified and notified of the proceedings, and gave Twitter 21 days to comply with the disclosure orders.
