Two people have brought a court action seeking an order preventing the State from administering Covid-19 vaccines or booster shots to children aged between five and 11 until full information about any alleged risks have been given to the public
The action has been brought by two individuals, Limerick woman Sharon Browne and data analyst David Egan against parties including Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly, the HSE and former Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan.
The action is opposed by the State and the HSE, which is represented by David Leahy SC, which denies all the adverse claims about the vaccine's safety. The court also heard that Mr Egan, who says he is a disability rights worker from Doughiska, Galway city, also claims to have gathered medical and statistical evidence from around the world to prove his theory that the vaccines are harmful.If granted, order would allow parents and guardians to be fully informed about what the applicants claims are the risks, deaths, injuries, illnesses and disabilities the plaintiffs claim are caused by the vaccines.
As part of their action, the applicants have brought a number of pre-trial motions where thy seek orders, including one allowing them to amend part of the proceedings and where they seek a protective costs order, where they would not have to pay any legal costs even if their action was unsuccessful.
