Judge Devins issues warrant for imprisoned protestor![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Objection to bail was a pure waste of time and money' – Judge Geoffrey Browne Yesterday in Westport District Court, Judge Mary Devins issued a bench warrant for a Shell to Sea protestor, who was appearing in the High Court, appealing his remanding in custody at the same time.
