Anti-vaxxer taregets mum of suicide victim.
The mother of a teenager who died by suicide has claimed before the High Court that she has been the target of an online campaign of intimidation and harassment after she commenced a legal action against Gemma O'Doherty.
The claim has been made by Edel Campbell, who claims she has "borne the burden of Ms O'Doherty's vitriol" while she and her family have been trying to grieve for her late son.
Earlier this year Ms Campbell launched a High Court action aimed at restraining Ms O'Doherty, trading as 'The Irish Light', from using or publishing the image of Ms Campbell's late son Diego Gilsenan for any purpose without the plaintiff's consent.
The plaintiff claims that Ms O'Doherty is a journalist and the publisher of The Irish Light, a free periodical newspaper, and the publisher/editor of the irishlightpaper.com website.
Following Mr Gilsenan's death in August 2021 it is claimed that Ms O'Doherty use her son's image in an article which it is claimed wrongly stated that he died as a result of the administration of the Covid-19 vaccination.
As a result, Ms Campbell has asked the High Court for orders restraining the defendant from publishing anything about the plaintiff or her son, including their images and medical records."
Ms Campbell claims that the unauthorised and repeated use of her son's image amounts to a harassment and breach of her constitutional rights, and has caused her emotional pain, suffering and harm.
As part of her action, where she seeks against Ms O'Doherty, Ms Campbell represented by David Kennedy SC, with Paul Comiskey O'Keeffe Bl instructed by solicitor Ciaran Mulholland is also seeking an injunction against the defendant.
The orders have been sought on the grounds that since commencing the action in May, it is alleged that the defendant's alleged conduct towards Ms Campbell in social media posts has been "exponentially worse" than before.
It is alleged that Ms O'Doherty has "deluded herself" into thinking that the action amounts to a "psy-op" by the "secret state".
She claims Ms O'Doherty has "defamed her" and has also directed abuse at her solicitor describing the firm representing her as "a MI5 grade-operation," "a freemason" and a "Sinn Féin outfit". ...
