I reported the other day on Gript News discovering that the Irish Police, An Garda Siochána had obtained an injunction against Twitter (X) ordering them to allow access to the X accounts for Gript News and their journalists. It now appears that at least 10 ( news is coming out all the time so could be more) injunctions have been obtained against X regarding various independent journalists and independent organisations. These injunctions are an attack on fundamental principles of press freedom and freedom of expression in general (Gript were present, of course, to report the protests) and show overreaching state control worthy of the Stasi, the East German Secret Police at the time of the Iron Curtain.
My previous report is here:

One injunction relates to a You Tuber called Irish Inquiry and their report on a protest in Coolock, a suburb of Dublin.
Wonderful Jana Lunden of Natural Women’s Council who campaigns about gender ideology and who we have often featured on this substack has also been targeted.

Here is an important further message from John McGuirk, the Editor of Gript News:

Albeit that it appears that An Garda Siochána have now backed off after X told them to get lost, this is chilling stuff. The very fact that they sought and obtained ex parte (ie. without notice to anyone) these injunctions is extremely alarming to say the least.
If you are in Ireland and have not done so so far, please contact your TD. Here in England I will be writing to my MP to ask that the UK Government inform the Irish Government that such action is not acceptable (I’m not holding my breath given how things are over here).
If you have any further information please let me know.
All comments gratefully received.

Very brave of you to put this out Dusty and how chilling do things need to get before people wake up?
Totally shocking. Stasi is definitely the right description for the Garda ,and if we're not vigilant , it'll be the same over here !! After all ,we're half way there already ,with the " hate speech " laws etc. we must keep speaking up. They can't imprison us ALL !!
