Anti-immigration activist Derek Blighe is due in court again on the 18th of November after being charged with harassing a Garda.
The 45-year-old of Curraghvoe , Mitchelstown, County Cork appeared at a sitting of Cork District Court today.
Det Sgt Christopher Cahill said Derek Blighe was arrested at 7:20 this morning and replied ‘No comment’ when the charge of harassment against a named individual was put to him.
Det Sgt Cahill alleged that Blighe had engaged in a ‘campaign of harassment’ against the Garda over a ten month period and had filmed and posted videos of the Garda to social media on a number of occasions between the 22nd of February 2023 and 4th of December 2023.
Judge Mary Dorgan said she would accept jurisdiction on a signed plea of guilty only and remanded Blighe on bail.
