Defamation case against journalist Gemma O'Doherty by Jimmy Guerin set for November 19 over social media post linking him to convicted paedophile.

A defamation case against journalist Gemma O'Doherty by Jimmy Guerin, brother of slain journalist Veronica Guerin, is scheduled for November 19. Guerin, an independent Fingal County Councillor, claims O'Doherty defamed him through social media posts, suggesting he is a convicted paedophile. O'Doherty contends she was referring to his brother, Martin, who received a suspended sentence in 2019 for child pornography possession. The trial is expected to last five days.
