At Killarney District Court, Co. Kerry on Tuesday 15th January 2008, Mr Niall Harnett of Doonagore, Liscannor, Co Clare was acquitted of 2 public order charges following a ruling by Judge James O'Connor, who found that there was no evidence of any crime committed and dismissed the charges after a full hearing of the matter which lasted about 1½ hours. Garda Brendan Cronin KY144 who initiated the charges, and Garda David Hannon KY180 both testified in court, but cross-examination by Mr Harnett, who represented himself, revealed that the Gardaí had neither evidence nor reasonable cause to suspect that Mr Harnett had committed any offence. Inspector Barry O’Rourke, prosecuting for the DPP, never even suggested foul play either and could only resort to smear tactics and prejudice in raising Mr Harnett’s Shell to Sea profile as ‘a protester with an interest in shoving his nose into business that didn’t concern him’, and had to be reminded by the judge that this was no crime. ... read full story / add a comment
