Jemima Burke
Jemima Burke, a 30-year-old management consultant and journalism graduate from the University of Galway, made headlines following her conviction for a public order offence after filming a coroner and hospital staff during an inquest in Co Mayo. She alleged her constitutional rights were violated during her arrest and subsequent trial, which she described as unjust and reminiscent of medieval practices. The State has indicated it will not oppose the quashing of her conviction, allowing for a potential retrial.
