Our Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and all other laws must conform to its provisions and underlying intent ⚖️

Thank you to everyone who supported me in the High Court today & throughout this action financially, i could not progress without your support & I am very grateful. Justice Hyland has given seven weeks to collect as many affidavits as possible to demonstrate how the planning exceptions are affecting the communities of Ireland. An affidavit is a statement of truth that you can write yourself and have sworn by a solicitor or Commissioner of Oaths. You can send your affidavit to Patrick McGreal, Reynella, Westmeath, N91 PYY3, and I will file it and add your voice to my action. The 33rd Government of Ireland is unlawfully and unconstitutionally exempting IPAS Centres from proper planning procedures. An Garda Síochána is enabling our Government to violently enforce this corrupt legislation. We must stand up for our communities. The communities of Ireland must be the first and last authority on the placement of IPAS Centres throughout the land. This is what our Planning and Development Act allows and what is provided for in the Constitution of Ireland. #JusticeForCommunities #ProtectOurRights #StandUpForIreland #ConstitutionalRights #PlanningMatters.

⚖️ Commissioner of An Garda Síochána in Contempt of Court – Immediate Action Required The Commissioner of An Garda Síochána failed to attend the High Court today, despite being properly before the Court. This non-attendance amounts to contempt of court, and I will now be taking the appropriate steps to address this serious breach. At the same time, the DPP is attempting to withdraw the charge of trespass and the malicious prosecution matter listed for hearing on 7 November. Given the Commissioner’s absence this morning, I will be moving to initiate contempt proceedings and an application for attachment under Order 44 of the Rules of the Superior Courts. #AccessToJustice #RuleOfLaw #NoOneAboveTheLaw #Accountability #ConstitutionalRights #DueProcess #PublicInterest

IPAS DEVELOPMENTS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL UNDER STATUTORY INSTRUMENT 376/2023 On the 21st of January 2021, Jack Chambers, then Minister of State, unlawfully reduced the quorum of Dáil Éireann from twenty members down to five, outside what the Constitution allows. This unconstitutional alteration undermined the integrity of all subsequent legislative acts and resolutions dependent on a valid quorum. When Statutory Instrument 376 of 2023 was introduced and passed in the Dáil, only seven members were present, falling far short of the constitutionally required quorum of twenty. As a result, the resolution authorising this statutory instrument is invalid and unconstitutional. When I first brought this matter before the courts, the judges held that I lacked personal standing because I did not reside beside an IPAS Center and was therefore not directly affected. However, with the backing of the public since April 2024 and through ten months of tireless effort, supported by thousands of pages of evidence, I can now demonstrate that any community personally impacted by the development of an IPAS Center has the right to challenge and strike down this statutory instrument in the High Court. Statutory Instrument 376 of 2023 is repugnant to Article 15 of the Constitution of Ireland, which governs how legislation is created and passed in the Dáil. The Dáil is constitutionally bound to adhere to its Standing Orders, and any departure from those rules directly undermines the constitutional framework of our democracy. No resolution, motion, or statutory instrument passed in breach of these Standing Orders can stand. Any community in Ireland affected by IPAS developments, please get in touch with me on 085 205 0563, and I will assist you in striking down this unconstitutional statutory instrument that has circumvented your community’s rights concerning developments in your local area.

Today was an extremely difficult day in the Superior Courts. John Hiney, a State Solicitor acting on behalf of the Chief State Solicitor’s Office and under the oversight of the Office of the Attorney General, has sworn multiple affidavits which I can demonstrate are false and misleading, in what I believe constitutes breaches of the Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Act 2021 and the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018. When I attempted to lawfully effect an arrest under Section 4 of the Criminal Law Act 1997, members of An Garda Síochána intervened, obstructed that arrest, and subjected me to physical force, including being pepper sprayed, thrown against a court bench, and struck in a way that caused significant injury to my knee. I am now receiving medical treatment in St. James’s Hospital for suspected ligament damage. Unfortunately, this is how certain individuals within the State apparatus respond when an ordinary citizen confronts what appears to be serious misconduct within public offices. I will, however, be back before the High Court on Monday, continuing to assist people in their pursuit of justice and ensuring that those responsible for today’s actions are held fully accountable.

The Constitution of Ireland begins not with government, but with the Nation—with the People themselves. That is not symbolism. That is authority. It is from the People that all power flows, and it is by our collective will that we established the Constitution as the supreme law of this State. Within it, we gave ourselves courts—not as instruments of control, but as guardians of liberty. Under Article 34, we vested those courts with a solemn duty: to protect and vindicate our personal rights. Those personal rights are not abstract ideas. They are expressly recognised and protected across the Constitution—beginning in Article 40, and extending through Articles 41, 42, 42A, 43, and 44. Together, they safeguard what it means to live freely and with dignity in Ireland: our personal liberty, our families, our children, our right to educate according to conscience, our private property, and our freedom of religion. These rights do not exist at the pleasure of the State. They do not depend on policy, preference, or administrative convenience. They are fundamental, and they are inalienable. What we are witnessing at this moment is something profoundly serious. A member of the Government—holding office as a Minister of State, an office that exists only by statute—has purported, through a statutory instrument, to prevent the People of Ireland from exercising their constitutional rights in their own courts. That cannot stand. No statutory instrument can override the Constitution. No minister, junior or otherwise, can suspend fundamental rights. No act of secondary legislation can lawfully obstruct access to the courts where those rights are vindicated. To suggest otherwise is not merely mistaken—it is constitutionally impossible. The courts do not belong to the executive. They do not belong to departments. They belong to the People, because the Constitution says so. And so, this is where the line is drawn. The Constitution is not optional. Fundamental rights are not negotiable. Access to justice is not a privilege to be rationed. Tomorrow, the law will be laid plainly before the Minister for Justice—not in defiance, but in fidelity to the Constitution; not in anger, but in duty to the People; not for personal grievance, but for the protection of all. Because if fundamental rights can be restrained today, they can be extinguished tomorrow. And if we do not stand now, we leave our children standing alone later. This is not about power. It is about principle. It is about ensuring that the Constitution lives—not on paper, but in practice. And it is about the furtherance of our fundamental rights, so that we may protect ourselves, our families, our children, the way we educate our children, our private property, and our religion—today, and for generations to come. #NoFeeOnGuarantee
