Case against Ross Lahive on charge of harassing librarian at Cork City Library adjourned

Case centres around protests about a publication called 'This Book is Gay' appearing on a shelf for teenagers in the library

Ross Lahive: It is alleged videos of interaction with librarian were accompanied by comments from parties, allegedly including Ross Lahive, variously describing the librarians as the epitome of evil, diabolical and doing Satan’s work.

 The case against Ross Lahive of The Irish People’s Party on a charge of harassing a librarian at Cork City Library in 2023 arising out of protests about a publication called This Book is Gay appearing on a shelf for teenagers, was further adjourned today.

Defence solicitor Diarmuid Kelleher said full disclosure of prosecution evidence to the defence had yet to be made and he asked for the matter to be further adjourned. Judge Mary Dorgan adjourned the case until December 8 at Cork District Court.
