Gemma O'Doherty has been "actively trying to evade" service of defamation proceedings brought against her by Jimmy Guerin, the brother of murdered journalist Veronica Guerin, the high court has heard.

Mr Guerin, an independent councillor on Fingal County Council, claims he was defamed in comments allegedly posted by Ms O'Doherty about him on her Facebook and Twitter accounts in July 2019.
