Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital is seeking High Court injunctions against Gemma O’Doherty over three "clearly defamatory" videos posted online, including one describing the hospital as “a death camp”.

The hospital claims the videos make a series of untrue claims and are “clearly defamatory”. They include one of Ms O’Doherty standing outside the hospital alleging staff are being "forced" to take the “experimental Covid 19 injection” which, she alleges, has killed “hundreds of thousands”.
