His defence solicitor, Ciara Dinneny, submitted that there was no evidence her client had committed serious offences on bail.“I have never been to a protest before,” Mr Daly told Judge Finan, who told him, “Do not attend any protest” as she granted him bail. His solicitor, Ms Dinneny, said her client, who did not address the court, consented and had instructed her that he did not use social media.
