Two Extinction Rebellion activists, who allegedly live-streamed a graffiti attack at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin, have been given five weeks to decide pleas. Their solicitor Luke Staines asked Judge Walsh to order disclosure of prosecution evidence. Judge Walsh directed gardaí to furnished copies of the statements and he remanded the pair on continuing bail until their next hearing on October 12. The court heard that the incident was allegedly filmed and live-streamed on the Extinction Rebellion Cork’s Facebook page. The district court was told Ms Murphy had been a film student but became involved in climate activism and youths groups.
