Social media ban for ‘anti-refugee activist'

Bail conditions imposed on man accused of inciting hate

- TOM TUITE

AN “anti-refugee agitator” accused of incitement to hatred was barred from social media yesterday and ordered to stay away from asylum centres. 

The Garda Special Detective Unit arrested Graham Carey, 39, of Dunsink Drive, Finglas, North Dublin, on Wednesday.

He was held at Shankill Garda station under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

Officers charged him on Thursday night. It is alleged on January 30, at a place unknown within the State, he distributed, showed, or played a recording of visual images or sounds to stir up hatred.

That allegation is contrary to section two of the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act.

He was kept in custody overnight then brought to Judge Michele Finan at Dublin District Court.
