As a political candidate, O'Doherty failed to secure the nominations required to run in the 2018 Irish presidential election and was unsuccessful in the 2019 European Parliament election in Ireland, when she won just 1.85% of first preference votes in the Dublin constituency. She then ran in the 2020 Irish general election, but received just under 2% of first preference votes.

Her controversial views across a range of subjects have led to both a series of legal actions and calls for tightening of hate-crime legislation. She has been banned since July 2019 from YouTube for violations of its policies on hate speech.

Early life

Gemma O'Doherty was born in Ranelagh in Dublin, to Hubert O'Doherty, a pharmacist, and his wife Sheila.[7] O'Doherty has a BA in Politics and an MA in Equality Studies from University College Dublin.[1] She was a teacher before becoming a journalist, and lived in Spain for a number of years.[8] She is the widow of the editor of the Irish Independent's Sunday Review, Peter Carvosso.[9] Born in England in 1947, he died of motor neurone disease in January 2015, aged 67;[2] O'Doherty was his second wife.[10]

Journalism

Irish Independent (1995–2014)

O'Doherty joined the Irish Independent in 1995 as a staff writer,[9] later becoming Chief Features Writer.[1] However, her highest-profile work concerned her reporting on Ireland's criminal justice system and on police corruption in An Garda Síochána.[11][12] In 2013, Roy Greenslade in The Guardian, at the time she was fired from the Irish Independent, described her as "one of Ireland's leading investigative journalists", but mentioned concerns over the ethics of her newsgathering methods.[13] Another Irish journalist, Michael Clifford, questioned the impact of her investigative work and her use of "theories of conspiracy".[14]

In 2010, O'Doherty wrote an article highlighting issues in the investigation into the 1985 death of a priest, Niall Molloy, after a society wedding in County Offaly that included senior Irish political figures, and the collapse of the subsequent manslaughter trial.[15] Her work led to the reopening of the case.[16] According to O'Doherty, her research had "exposed a cover-up of staggering proportions involving several institutions of the State and the Catholic Church."[17] In 2015, a Garda review of the case concluded that the original Garda investigation was correctly concluded.[18][19]

In 2013, while investigating the penalty points cancellation scandal, O'Doherty sought to question Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan about the quashing of his own speeding points and called to his private home at approximately 10pm in order to do so, speaking to Callinan's wife.[20] In August 2013, Doherty was fired from the Irish Independent and, though the newspaper rejected any links between the firing and the phone call, editor-in-chief Stephen Rae branded her as a "rogue reporter" for approaching the commissioner without editorial permission.[lower-alpha 1][24] The Irish National Union of Journalists condemned the dismissal as unfair.[24]

O'Doherty lodged a complaint about her dismissal with the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT), which was resolved in 2014 with Independent News & Media plc praising her contributions to the newspaper and tendering an unreserved apology, whilst paying her an undisclosed sum.[24] Similarly, she won a defamation case against the Irish Independent at the High Court, where the newspaper stated: "Independent Newspapers wish to acknowledge the exceptional work of multi-award winning investigative journalist Gemma O'Doherty for the Irish Independent during the course of a lengthy career".[25][26][9]

Freelance (2014–2019)

After the Irish Independent, O'Doherty worked freelance, publicly criticising "the cosy cartel that exists between the press, power and the police in this country".[27] In 2016, she produced a documentary, Mary Boyle: The Untold Story, about the disappearance of a child in 1977, which was published on YouTube.[28] The disappearance of Mary Boyle is the longest running missing child case in Ireland, and the documentary implies political interference in the investigation.[29][30] It led to O'Doherty being sued for defamation by the late Fianna Fáil politician, Sean McEniff, for damages of €75,000. In 2019, after McEniff's death, a judge granted his estate leave to continue the case.[31][32]

When reviewing Mary Boyle: The Untold Story, The Irish Times expanded on her journalistic career with the Irish Independent and noted that "The establishment does not like Gemma O'Doherty", and that "I have heard political advisers say of her: "She just won't let it go." In other words, she's not easily fobbed off".[lower-alpha 2][29]

In late 2017, O'Doherty wrote an article, published by Village magazine, concerning allegations of long-term child sexual abuse in Terenure College, Dublin,[34] and followed it up in early 2018 with allegations that the Gardaí did not act on information they had about issues regarding the college's rugby coach, John McClean.[35] A year later, McClean was formally charged with indecently assaulting nine students in Terenure College over a 17-year period.[36][37]

In August 2019, Village published an editorial on O'Doherty and her relationship with the magazine. It described her as "the It girl for Irish extremism: racism, anti-Islamism, homophobia and transphobia." It defended her previous freelance work for the magazine and the publication of articles by her, saying "O'Doherty's politics were not offensive until some time after Village published its last piece by her" and concluded by stating "Meanwhile Village will continue to publish investigative journalism on the basis of the journalism rather than the author, unless the author shows evidence of failing to recognise democratic norms. Once O’Doherty revealed herself as racist she was no longer welcome in these pages."[38]

Politics

2018 Presidential election
See also: 2018 Irish presidential election § Nomination process

O'Doherty announced on 19 August 2018 she was seeking a nomination to stand for the Irish presidency in the 2018 election on an anti-corruption platform.[39][40][41] However, her campaign fell into controversy when during a nomination hearing she stated that there was state collusion in the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin, and threatened councillors, including the brother of Veronica Guerin, with libel after her claims were strongly disputed.[42] O'Doherty's claims drew labels of a conspiracy theorist from the Irish media,[43][1] including Veronica's brother, councillor Jimmy Guerin.[44][45][46] On 24 September, Laois County Council became the only council to nominate her as a presidential candidate.[47] Having failed to reach the required four county council nominations by 26 September, she could not stand for election.[48] O'Doherty attributed her failure to secure the political nominations to being "blocked by the political elite from contesting."[49][50]

Anti-Corruption Ireland (2019–)

In February 2019, O'Doherty founded "Anti-Corruption Ireland", described as a "political movement", which promotes "'truth, justice and integrity in public office', where public servants who abuse citizens' rights and their taxes will lose their jobs, pensions and their liberty", and which is based on "20 core pillars".[51] However, O'Doherty's strong § Opinions across a range of subjects (e.g. Muslim immigration, HPV vaccine, LGBT rights, and George Soros), including "false flag" claims regarding the March 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, became an issue for the ACI.[52][51] In March and April 2019, the Imperial and Maritime hotels in Cork, a pub in Sligo and a parish hall in Schull cancelled public meetings that had been booked by ACI.[53][54][55][56] In April 2019, the Ballyvolane House hotel in Cork cancelled another ACI booking, citing O'Doherty's views as the reason.[57] As of 2019, the ACI was not registered as a political party,[58] but was registered as a "third party" with the Standards in Public Office Commission.[59]

2019 European elections

On 10 April 2019, O'Doherty announced that she intended standing in May's European Parliament election, in the Dublin constituency.[60] O'Doherty registered as an independent candidate,[61][62] and not an ACI candidate, as ACI is not a registered political party,[58] with newspapers reporting her saying that she was going to offer Anti-Corruption Ireland to the Irish people, and saying that "if they don’t want it I can say that I tried but they didn’t want it, they wanted to continue to pursue the death of their country", and adding that she "can’t do it on my own".[60] However, O'Doherty continued to use ACI branding on some of her European election campaign posters and literature.[63][64]

In May 2019, adverts for O'Doherty and ACI appeared on the sides of Dublin Bus, the public service transport operator, carrying the slogan "It is time to take Ireland back".[63] The adverts were criticised by LGBT activists and the National Bus and Rail Union (NBRU), with the union's General Secretary, Dermot O’Leary, writing to Ray Coyne the CEO of Dublin Bus, to say that "there is a direct contradiction between the views/principles of the candidate and the indisputable fact that Dublin Bus is a multicultural employer."[65][66][63] Dublin Bus's parent company, Córas Iompair Éireann, subsequently announced it and its subsidiary companies would no longer allow political advertising.[67]

O'Doherty's campaign featured live-streamed videos. In one such video, O'Doherty condemned a multi-faith room in Dublin Airport due to a lack of crosses and an altar, and complained that she had been banned from filming in the room, stating that "Irish people own the airport". The Dublin Airport Authority responded, pointing out that there is a dedicated Roman Catholic church on the grounds of the airport and that O'Doherty had been stopped from filming as "a) you had not sought or been granted the required permission to film at the airport b) we do not permit political campaigning on the airport campus c) all mobile phones and devices should be switched off in the multi-faith room."[68][69]

O'Doherty received 1.8% of the first-preference votes, finishing 12th out of 19 candidates in the first count. She was eliminated on the 9th count.[70][71]

2019 Dublin Fingal by-election

O'Doherty was a candidate in the 2019 Dublin Fingal by-election held on 29 November 2019. She received 1,026 (4.1%) first preference votes and was eliminated on the third count.[72] Following the election, Minister for Justice Charles Flanagan suggested that the Irish media had given O'Doherty a "free pass" for her views on immigration, after Fine Gael's candidate for the Wexford by-election, Verona Murphy, had been criticised for linking migration to Ireland with ISIS.[73]

2020 general election

O'Doherty ran as an independent candidate (as ACI is not registered as a political party) in the Dublin Fingal constituency, in the 2020 general election. She secured 1.97% of the first preference vote and was eliminated on the fifth count.[74]

Opinions
O'Doherty speaking at "Make it Happen Women's Day", 13 March 2015

O'Doherty holds conspiracy theorist views, as described by several mainstream Irish and UK news outlets.[51][43][1][14][64][75] As a journalist, she won awards for medical reporting.[76][77] However, she has been linked fluoridation and cancer,[78] and alleged that the HPV vaccine is both untested and dangerous.[79][80]

In September 2018, during the presidential election campaign, O'Doherty drew criticism for her claim, described as conspiratorial,[43][81] that the state colluded in the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin.[42] The Irish political satire magazine, The Phoenix, called O’Doherty's claim a "credibility destroying move", and said "that ludicrous assertion helped to scupper her bid for a presidential nomination".[52]

O'Doherty is associated with anti-immigration views,[51] which she defends saying: "Because I have always stood up for the poor; I see the inequality. That’s my academic background," she said. "That's why I'm against mass immigration, mass uncontrolled immigration as opposed to controlled immigration." She said that mass uncontrolled immigration drives down wages.[60]

O'Doherty has described wind turbines as "sinister", saying "there's a criminal conspiracy to make us think our planet can't cope."[60]

Social media and Twitter ban (2020)

In March 2014, O'Doherty set up a Twitter account.[82] In 2017, the annual "#murraytweetindex",[lower-alpha 3][83] which ranks the influence of Twitter accounts of Irish journalists, ranked O'Doherty's Twitter account as the 7th most influential overall account, 3rd most influential news category account, and the most retweeted account.[84][85] By 2018, O'Doherty had fallen out of the top 20 most influential accounts;[86][87] the "#murraytweetindex" website ranked her as the 26th-most influential overall account, but she retained her position as the third-most influential news category account.[83]

Some of her tweets and YouTube broadcasts have caused controversy, with several referring to known conspiracy theories:

  • In December 2018, O'Doherty tweeted "Wondering what’s behind the globalists’ plan to fill Europe with migrants? It's nothing to do with compassion for their plight", and accompanied the tweet with an image of the Star of David and linked to an article on an "alt-right European white nationalist website called Red Ice". O'Doherty deleted the tweet after coverage in The Algemeiner.[88]
  • In December 2018, O'Doherty tweeted "Wondering what all the faux concern for migrants has been about of late? Welcome to the gravy train that is #multicultural #Ireland, funded in no small part by the man who wants to destroy our continent, its values and its future. Anything funded by #GeorgeSoros should be shunned";[89] she has tweeted frequently on Soros-linked conspiracies.[90]
  • In March 2019, O'Doherty tweeted that the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand to have all the hallmarks of a "false flag" operation to incite fresh [ISIS] attacks.[91][52][53] This led to two of the four Laois councillors who endorsed her 2018 presidential nomination saying they would rescind that support now.[92] She has been associated with previous anti-Islamic tweets.[63][64]
  • In April 2019, O'Doherty tweeted that the fire in Notre Dame cathedral as "an act of war by the state on the Church", and that "200 years of Free Masonic war on the Church in France is enough to justify our suspicion".[93] She has previously tweeted anti-abortion and anti-LGBT views.[53][65]
  • In May 2019, O'Doherty's Twitter account was briefly suspended and some of her posts were removed from Facebook, after she posted pictures of primary schoolchildren without permission and in breach of copyright, in posts described as offensive. The Longford Leader quoted one parent, Aneta Safiak, who later confronted O'Doherty, as saying "My son in that picture was among those that she called Irish because he is a white, blonde boy. And he is Irish. He was born here. He speaks fluent English and he speaks Irish. And it was so offensive to me because she used him to point out that his [non-white] friends are, in her view, lesser than he is."[94][95]
  • In June 2019, during a lengthy discussion on chemtrails O'Doherty called the September 11 attacks "scripted".[96]
  • In June 2019, it was reported that science writer and cancer researcher David Robert Grimes had initiated legal proceedings against O'Doherty for defamation, following comments made by her about him on social media.[97][98] O'Doherty reportedly initiated a counter-claim against Grimes in July 2019.[99]
  • In August 2019, O'Doherty undertook legal proceedings against Village, reputedly for an editorial published by the magazine earlier that month.[100]
  • In September 2019, a number of media outlets reported on a tweet (published by O'Doherty and later deleted by Twitter) which led to racial abuse of a County Meath couple who had appeared in an advertisement for the German-based supermarket chain Lidl. The tweet read "German dump Lidl gaslighting the Irish people with their multicultural version of 'The Ryans'. Kidding no one! Resist the Great Replacement wherever you can by giving this kip a wide berth. #ShopIrish #BuyIrish."[101][102][103] "The Great Replacement", referred to in O'Doherty's tweet, is a white nationalist right-wing conspiracy theory. According to The Irish Times, O'Doherty threatened legal action against the couple for speaking to the newspaper about the Twitter thread and the impact it had on the couple and their child.[103] Some news coverage associated the events with calls for a review of hate-crime legislation,[102][104] and the abuse directed at the family was investigated under the Garda Síochána's diversity and integration strategy (which includes hate-crime).[105]
  • In July 2020, O'Doherty's Twitter account was "permanently suspended after repeated violations of the Twitter rules".[106][107]
  • In October 2020, a video was circulated on Twitter by her supporters in which O'Doherty claimed that The Troubles may have been a "staged event".[108]
  • In January 2021, some media outlets associated the "tragic death" of a Garda member with the "online abuse" to which the Garda was subjected following the posting of a video by O'Doherty in which she verbally abuses said Garda member.[109]

YouTube ban (2019)

In July 2019, O'Doherty's YouTube channel was permanently removed for hate speech violations.[70][71] The Irish Times reported that her account was suspended the week before after posting a video regarding ethnic minorities in Ireland; however, O'Doherty appeared to evade this ban by using an alternative account.[70] The Times quoted a spokesman for Google saying that "both Ms O’Doherty’s accounts have been removed for “repeat” breaches of its rules", and that "When users violate these policies repeatedly, such as our policies against hate speech and harassment, or our terms prohibiting circumvention of our enforcement measures, we terminate their accounts".[70][71]

Court action against COVID-19 legislation

In April 2020, O'Doherty and John Waters launched a legal action against the laws passed to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland.[110] They sought to have part of the legislation declared void in the High Court, describing it as "unconstitutional", "improperly acted" and "very flawed".[110] Waters further stated, as a basis for the claim, that the laws were brought in by a caretaker government, by a Dáil with a limited number of TDs, and enacted by an outgoing Seanad.[110] When the matter was discussed in the High Court later in April 2020, the government's counsel expressed its opposition to the action.[111] During the proceedings, up to 100 supporters of O'Doherty and Waters gathered at the Four Courts but were not permitted to enter the courtroom by the judge because of social distancing rules.[111] Gardaí later announced that they were investigating the gathering at the Four Courts,[112] stating that they had asked the group to disperse over concerns about social distancing and the rules on non-essential travel.[112]

On 28 April 2020, at the next hearing on the matter, Gardaí and barriers prevented crowds from entering the court.[113] About forty supporters of the applicants turned up, and no arrests were made.[113] During the meeting, O'Doherty said that the people of Ireland were under "mass house arrest" and Gardaí were "using guns" to frighten people.[113] At the next hearing, on 6 May 2020, O'Doherty said that the COVID-19 conditions were comparable to living in "Nazi Germany".[114] She also said that the basis for introducing the restrictions was "scientifically fraudulent" and that evidence to that effect would be presented at the full hearing of their action.[114] The State's representation opposed the application, saying that the claims were not arguable.[114]

On 13 May 2020, Mr Justice Charles Meehan dismissed the applicant's case.[115][116][117] The judge said that the applicant's claims were not arguable and the court could not grant them an application to have their challenge determined in the High Court.[116] He said that the applicants had not provided any facts or evidence to support the view that the laws were unconstitutional,[116] had "no medical or scientific qualifications or expertise, [and] relied on their own unsubstantiated views, gave speeches, engaged in empty rhetoric and sought to draw parallel to Nazi Germany which is both absurd and offensive".[116]

Defamation

In September 2019, independent councillor Jimmy Guerin (brother of Veronica Guerin) took a defamation action against O'Doherty.[118] Guerin claimed that he was defamed in comments allegedly posted by O'Doherty on Twitter and Facebook.[119]

The High Court was told in August 2020 that she had been "actively trying to evade" service of notice of defamation proceedings.[119] Attempts had been made to serve documents on O'Doherty, but they had not been successful.[119] Guerin's solicitors secured orders against O'Doherty, including one that she had been formally served with the summons outlining the action against her after an ex parte hearing.[119] O'Doherty denied that she had tried to evade service of defamation proceedings,[120][121] and claimed that the defamation action was vexatious and an "outrageous attempt" to prevent her from revealing corruption.[120][121] She sought orders preventing the publishing of her purported home address by the media and to have Jimmy Guerin's action against her struck out.[120][121]

In October 2020, Judge Richard Humphreys ordered that there was to be no publication of O'Doherty's full address and in particular the street name or house-number, house name or her email address. The Judge however stated "I want to record clearly that [O'Doherty] has failed to substantiate any of her allegations of wrongdoing made against [Guerins] legal team" and awarded costs to Guerin saying that this was "to factor in my disapproval of the unsubstantiated complaints made by the [O'Doherty] against the [Guerin's] legal team".[122]
