Niamh Farrell
Niamh Farrell, a music teacher at Coláiste Éanna in Dublin, gained media attention after claiming she was wrongly identified as the infamous 'GAA catfish'—an individual accused of creating fake online profiles to deceive others.

Farrell secured an interim injunction to prevent the school from continuing the disciplinary action, asserting that the public scrutiny and pressure from parents had unjustly impacted her career and reputation.
