Gilroy seeks injunction over video by autism rights campaigner
Quote:
Mr Gilroy and businessman Vincent Byrne of Ardgillan Close, Ardgillan Heights, Balrothery, Co Dublin have brought defamation proceedings against Fiona O’Leary whom they claim defamed them in a 13 minute Youtube video posted by her on June 23rd.
Ms O’Leary, a mother of five from west Cork denies the post contains any defamatory remarks about the two men.
Ms. O’Leary, the court was told, campaigns against those advocating the use of a substance called Miracle Mineral Supplement, (MMS) which has been held out to be a cure for autism
Ms. O’Leary who has acted as a witness for the authorities in prosecutions against those promoting the use of the substance, says MMS contains bleach and is harmful to anyone who consumes it.
Representing himself, Mr Gilroy of Riverview, Athlumney Abbey, Navan, Co Meath said Ms O’Leary described the use of MMS as a form of child abuse. He said the “false allegations” have very serious implications for him and his good reputation.
He claims Ms O’Leary had named him in the post as being involved with a group called the “sovereign movement” which, she alleges, is involved in the promotion and use of MMS as a cure for autism.
The court heard it is accepted by Ms O’Leary that Mr Gilroy did not engage in the use or promotion of MMS.
Mr Gilroy said he is not a member of any such movement and nor has he anything to do with MMS.
In September Mr Justice Tony O’Connor directed that Ms O’Leary either take down the Youtube post at the centre of the dispute or insert, either by a video clip or by text at the start of the video, material stating her acceptance that Mr Gilroy is not engaged in the use or promotion of MMS.
Ms O’Leary says she complied with that order by inserting the required text. Mr Gilroy says the video can still be seen on certain devices without the text. The hearing of the injunction application continues.
