Protest at Tralee library was to protect child innocence, say accused

Three people who travelled from Cork and disrupted a drag story event for children deny public order charges

Ross Lahive denies assaulting four people, including a library security guard, a woman, a male photographer for the event, and another man. 

Three people who travelled from Cork and disrupted a drag story event for children at Tralee library in July 2023 told a court their intention was to protest peacefully and protect child innocence.

All three deny public order charges at Kerry County Library, Moyderwell, Tralee, on July 13, 2023.
