AAA TDs: Jobstown verdict sets dangerous precedent

The guilty verdict in the anti-water charges protest case has set a dangerous precedent for civil liberties, some opposition TDs have claimed.

Yesterday, a 17-year-old boy was found guilty of the false imprisonment of Joan Burton during the Jobstown protest in Dublin in November 2014.

However, the judge discharged the youth conditionally on good behaviour for nine months, meaning he will not have a criminal record.
