O’Brien has gagged the journalists of Ireland

It would appear there is some truth in the expression “justice is available to those who can afford it”.

One man has achieved what 800 years of British colonial occupation failed to do — gagging the journalists of Ireland.

Having succeeded in that, he is now attempting to gag the elected members of the Dail.

And we are told we live in a democracy?

Journalists and elected representatives have been gagged elsewhere in the world, but never in a democracy.
