Jimmy Guerin wins High Court leave over webcast challenge

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

Jimmy Guerin received permission from the High Court to challenge Fingal County Council’s webcast decision on 21 February 2022.

The judicial review concerns the alleged removal of his comments from a public recording of an 18 January council meeting and refusal of access to a formal record, transcript or recording.

Justice Charles Meenan granted permission on an ex-parte basis, and the matter was due back before the court in April.

Guerin claims the decisions were unlawful and breached his freedom of expression, while the report said no later outcome.
