INDEPENDENT TD CLARE Daly has been released from Limerick Prison after spending around an hour and a half there tonight.
She was jailed for refusing to pay a fine for breaching the fence at Shannon Airport.
Her Dáil colleague and fellow campaigner Mick Wallace was also arrested and taken to the prison earlier.
The Wexford deputy was given temporary release on condition of good behaviour at 4pm, having been processed by the Irish Prison Service.

Daly only entered the prison shortly after 9pm, and was given temporary release after 10.30pm.
Court case
Wallace and Daly were told they faced the prospect of jail terms after declaring they would not pay fines of €4,000 imposed on them by a judge in Ennis in April.
The two TDs were found guilty of breaching airport regulations when entering a restricted area at Shannon on 22 July 2014 and each fined €2,000. Both said they would not pay.
Speaking to RTÉ Radio 1′s Drivetime from outside Limerick Prison earlier evening, Wallace said he was not kept in a cell but in a room in the facility for a number of hours.
“Nothing [happened] really,” he said. “I was just taken in for a few hours and they told me I was being let go. It’s called temporary release, as far as I know.”

Between the cost of Garda or prison service escort, admin fees, holding herself and Wallace and then letting them out on temporary release 2 grand is a drop in the ocean.
They broke the law and were fined by a judge for breaking this law which they failed to pay, while I think it’s a waste of money doing this they still broke the law and there are consequences for these actions these 2 clowns are not above the law!
Sean Quinn thumbed his noses at the state-but for monetary reasons.
He served modest time for contempt of court.
If I ever become a billionaire and borrow too much money and place all my assets out of reach of the suffering taxpayers of Ireland i will thumb my nose at the judge too..
Anyway most of Limerick is under water as we speak.
Maybe even the jail.?
If so everybody inside will be rescued by (police frogmen?) and sent home to enjoy the turkey and ham.
The sluice gates at Ardnacrusha had to be opened by the ESB.
All that water wasted.
It could have been sold (cheaply) to the people of Limerick who have to pay Irish Water 10 cents every time they flush the loo.(Original-pre boycott price of 10 litres of treated water)
Mick Wallace and Claire Daly are also supporting the Irish Water Boycott.
They should have ask the judge to take that into account when sentencing them.
Lol
What exactly was the consequences though, they went to prison for like 2 hrs?? Tats like ur Mammy making ya sit on the naughty step.. they were hardly “punished” and look at the publicity it’s getting? An awful waste of time, money and resources.. It proved nothing. Either make them pay their fines from their extortionate salaries or do lock them up.. but don’t go wasting the effort for 2 hours of leaving someone sat in a room, cause I highly doubt they even made it to a cell…
We are a neutral country who’s only exploits in modern war is the protection of the innocent and keeping the peace. They are and were right to have the balls to highlight the weakness in the Irish government to stand up for the principles of its people. No weapons on board my arse. The soldier is the most lethal of all weapons
Indeed… Money ‘wasted’ enforcing laws and prosecuting those who commit crimes.
I suppose you’re all thinking that the states cash would be better used being handed out to you next Wednesday and even with minimum pricing buy you a few extra tins of cheap larger and keep the buzz going.
How does the journal allow comments for this, I know if it was a Denis O Brien story that was still going on and hadn’t been settled the comments section would be out of action
Varadkar let his mask slip today with what he said. Shows how thick he thinks we are. ..said don’t vote for independents as they might be in jail. He let slip what this persecution was all about
We’re much smarter than that varadkar you clown… You just elected a load more independents.
Heard on The Last Word that people in for fines are usually processed and released unless it’s after 8:00pm then they are usually in for the night at least. I’m sure they were counting on spending some time locked up, this gives their cause some airtime.
Well it seems there’s generally a Garda car following them around in case they cross a white line or commit some other serious breach of the RTA, so spoiled for choice.
Ah leave Leo alone now Mike. He has just sorted out Ireland’s highly dysfunctional health system today by increasing the price of gargle. That took ingenuity. Jaysus give him some credit.
If i went to Snn airport and did what their guilty of ,somehow got away with a 2k fine of which i refuse to pay ,id be fully expecting to do my time .Mick & Claire should do the 30 days to deter other wannabe joe publics of climbing airport fences with an intention to board US military planes.
Leo is an idiot..i stead of sorting out the real problems he goes and announces a new one. Can I suggest that mister minister for health goes and sorts the CURRENT problems with our health system..you know like 80-90 year olds on trolleys for days, kids not getting treatment in A&E. Cancer victims fighting for the most suitable medication, that has already been approved in otger countries…local health centres having proper dental facilities..oh it goes on and on and on. But yet..we will blame everything on the price of tescos cans of beer. Oh and heres an aside…if you want to provide healthy options …build some bleedin swimming pools and put tax credits in for families that have to pay astronomical prices for clubs etc for kids.
And still no politician brought in for questioning,after being caught red handed and viewed by the whole country. And some people still support fg,labour.
They have to give them time to make sure any potential evidence is well and truly ,ahem, “mislaid”… They’d wouldn’t have had a chance to if they were lifted that evening… Sure doesn’t the same happen with all potential suspects??? ;-)
Gold, how about the TD Robert Troy, 3 outstanding driving related summons not acted upon by the Gardai. Do you think Mick Wallace or Claire Daly would be allowed the same privilege.
Love them or loathe them it’s hardly their fault the prison service in this country is in shite and cannot keep them locked up for more than a few hours. Everyone get the same choice.. Pay the fine or get send down. After this though I wouldn’t be surprised if people started weighing up their options when they’re offered the same choice. Why anyone would bother paying a few grand when the threat of prison is non existent is beyond me. A few hours and your done and so as not to inconvenience you too much you get a drive there and your bus fare home. On top of that “non payment of a fine” on your record probably wouldn’t effect your current job or any future travel plans…
Cian, most people don’t and even at that “non payment of a fine” is hardly grounds to exclude you from all but the most top level of positions… You’d need to be applying for the Irish equivalent of Yankee White before it would make a difference…
i dont think they didnt pay the fine because they thought the issue they thought it might be a delightful way to spend a day in prison..they didnt pay because they believed in their convictions. Whether they were right or wrong is your own personal opinions. The whole fine thing is a farce… I could waffle on for hours but who cares. Not one TD. maybe except one..Mick Wallace..he has a few vslid questiond..like..why did he turn himself in and then have to be driven all the way to Limerick? By my reckoning..that used up at least 18 hours Garda time..just in one day.
whether they were right or wrong is not an individuals personal opinion…It’s the position and opinion of the judge that they both broke the law and were fined accordingly… I wonder if Wallace had to serve 30 days for every €2000 he owed the taxpayer from unpaid taxes how long would he stay behind bars…
Regardless of why they were arrested, I can’t help observing how this government are systematically attacking independent TD’s, and using the state security services to do so.
Having worked over 20 years in Africa, the only difference I can see between this shower and an African tinpot dictatorship is that in Africa they actually attempt to hide it.
If the Irish people fail to take a chance and elect a change of government then we deserve every thing we get.
John, I don’t have your international experience to make such a comparison but I’m apprehensive that you are correct. Our policing has become politicised.
The specific timing of these imprisonments has followed very closely after the revelations about corrupt politicians.
The price of democracy is permanent vigilance. It is interesting as well as concerning to hear the views of someone who has seen other regimes in Africa in operation.
“Regardless of why they were arrested” Is that a joke? A TD being found guilty of a crime and being arrested for not paying the fine then spending time in jail in leu is exactly what should happen. The alternative is that she can do what she wants and the justice system and Gardai dont or wont touch em.
So which is it? all equal before the law or just the ordinary folk?
Why the hell was she in Shannon anyway, shes a bloody TD for Swords. No one in Swords is voting for TD’s based on what they feel about Shannon airport. What does she do anyway? Makes unproven allegations by abusing dail privilege and Media whoring
Karl if the American bombers were still dropping Napalm on innocent civilians (Vietnam war) I am sure they would still be climbing fences in protest.
It is hard for most people to understand.
I suppose it would be easier if one visited the “theatre of war” and saw the carnage.
a little carnage recently,where it is not supposed to happen (Paris) has the whole world in a tizzy.
Funny that the media never show the incinerated bodies of young children in Gaza and elsewhere.
You need a good imagination to get the picture and courage, to climb that fence..
So what is your take on the three TD’s uncovered a few nights ago on the RTE program? Why are they not arrested already? If you go after only the opposition and let your own crowd get away with a crime then it’s not exactly balanced is it?
So yes, regardless of why they were arrested, why IS the government only going after those that threaten their cosy little corrupt circle?
John Payne, lest it has escaped your notice, the Govt haven’t gone after anyone in this case. The two TDs were arrested for trespass and subsequently charged. A file was sent to the DPP who decided to prosecute. A court of law found them guilty after a trial. How is the Govt responsible for any of this? It’s called the rule of law and it is meant to apply to politicians as well. It has. And some people still aren’t happy because, like you, they want “their” politicians to be above the law. You may consider them principled but if you break the law then even principles have consequences. Both should spend a week in jail because it looks as if they were released early just because they were politicians. The rest of us would, as a minimum, have to pay the fine and purge our contempt or do the time. They are doing neither. Outrageous and a clear example of how the law which they criticise is used to benefit them. Oh the sheer hypocrisy.
Equal before the law Karl??? What a joke. The law only applies to the likes of Mick Wallace, Clare Daly and protesters. Being a corrupt business man, councillor, or FF/FG/Lab TD makes you immune to any prosecution.
Funny that the judge who sent them to jail is an ex FG politician, appointed by Enda, no less.
An Garda Siochana takes its instructions from the Minister for Justice who passes on the requirements of the Cabinet. An Garda Siochana is not politically independent.
Dave. If that were the case then Mick Wallace would have served a sentence for his 1.4 Million Euro Tax Evasion. But he hasn’t spent a single day in Prison for it.
Dave Doyle, Enda doesn’t appoint Judges, the President does. As for allegedly corrupt politicians recently exposed I assume there will be an investigation and a file sent to the DPP. But that will take some time just as it did with Wallace and Gromit. Don’t let your prejudices distort reality.
Fiona AGS do not take their instructions from the Minister for Justice on behalf of the Cabinet. They are independent in operational and investigative matters and are so in law. But I am sure this pleasant fantasy of yours allows you to post the delusional and paranoid nonsense you do. Pray continue for our amusement.
We are unused to politicians in Ireland with principles.
Had Ms. Daly sought to hustle some backhanders from a corporate seeking some “favours” , she would be immune to any problems.
I hope that Ms. Daly is treated with courtesy and respect befitting a democratically elected representative. This is simply the respect due not to her as an induvidual but as a person the voters have elected.
We don’t have to agree with a politician’s stance to admire a politician’s commitment to principle.
Principles Fiona come on who are you kidding? She will be all over the tv and papers now giving out about everything but her wrongdoing. You get fined you pay.
You are not taking into account the pacifism which motivated the original conduct. It is Clare Daly’s which is giving her a platform to express her views. She is entitled to use that platform. She is acting honourably, passionately and with admirable objectives.
Great, they couldn’t even get the her and mick in the same squad car? Now the tax payer gets to pay even more to drive her around. And she’ll be home for breakfast. Ridiculous
Two prisoners are never transported in the same patrol car. Not like the states where they are designed properly with a barrier between front and back. Just regular cars with sirens instead of radios.
@ larry K,
you are right there..given their close relationship in Dail Eireann, it would have been nice to have driven them down to Limerick together-but obviously the powers-that-be were not going to permit them even that.!
Christmas Grinches.!
Principles…..Let him pay the rest of his tax bill then, at the rate he paid in 2013 it will be 2058 by the time he finishes paying what he owes in taxes.
800 euro for the state to issue a bench warrant, three waged gardai to accompany him to prison, garda checkpoint, petrol, 6 gardai to keep the journalists at bay at the prison, processing and duty of care fees and let’s not forget the tasty prison dinner. I’m probably a few euros out.. But hey I’m not perfect. Anything else??
At least they both have principles unlike many other TDs.
Ireland (a supposedly neutral country) is allowing Shannon to be used by the Americans to bomb and kill innocent people in the Middle East
Jaysus Les, I must have missed the part where the US installed a forward air base at Shannon for running bombing campaigns. Would that be the same area that the Irish government are allowing ISIS terrorist affiliates to support their operation from?
A lot of loonies have “principles”. Had the nutter who killed those people at the abortion clinic principles? The people of the Westboro Church? It’s irrelevant. They are either right or wrong. They either break the law or do not.
1) Been found guilty of trespassing
2) Admitted serious tax evasion of over €1 million
3) Been found guilty of contempt of court
4) Refused to pay charges due
He has broken more laws than anyone in Leinster House and his tax evasion and constant hypocrisy is an absolute embarrassment.
If it’s a crime to protest against the facilitation of an illegal war that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent dead, yet not a crime to seek personal enrichment in your role as a public representative, then I think we need a new democracy. One that represents the people. Us that employ them. Getting young people interested in politics is key.
Oh yeah, they scaled a fence. Better off just sticking to fleecing people and feathering your own nest. Don’t dare stand up for your beliefs. You must conform and play the game. We’ll see come the next election.
Fleecing people and feathering your own nest, isn’t that exactly what Wallace did.
I know Wallace rightly sticks it to the government on a regular basis but does that mean he gets a free pass on the 1.4ml fraud?
jane did you see the article earlier on tax defaulters? Little article, end of story. Similar amounts mentioned. Wallace exposes the fat cats, as does Daly, and they don’t like that. Time to kick out corrupt politicians, via the ballot box. Also make it clearly illegal, via the legislature.
Who leaked these arrests to the press? The cynic in me says this is designed to deflect from the tv broadcast on corruption. The wrong politicians are inside.
I wonder myself if the timing was to deflect from the corrupt politicians show on RTE.?
The Blueshirts employ American masterminds to counter bad publicity and help master the minds of the electorate.
Without a doubt this was the reason. I wonder when someone is going to instruct the Garda to visit the boyos from the RTE Investigates program… or are we all to just forget we saw it ??
Will they have to pay for the train home themselves, or does the Department of Justice still issue free travel warrants.?
Send them my Christmas Greetings.
We the people are fighting back.
The spirit of 1916 has been re-born -courtesy of a Blueshirt/ Labour coalition.
Quick, quick, someone find us a story that might lessen the filthy stench of corruption, emulating from the RTE Investigates program. So apparent its lame.
Both TDs were prepared to go jail for a principle…how different from the attitude displayed by those grubby nod and wink ” I want lotsa money” politicians caught in the Primetime sting. Or the people, politicians included, named and shamed by various tribunals but never held to account…
The Garda Inspectorate report was pretty damming today of the Garda and how they are run. They said 1,200 gardai can be moved from behind the desk to the beat, with hundreds moving immediately with very little cost. No surprise that the usual big mouth commissioner failed to comment on its findings. Is anyone surprised at the waste or resources by the judiciary and gardai.
They are coming for the rest of you….. N’ere do wells
soon!
While the cynical could suggest that the McMahon findings may appear to be parked, as the sands of time run out on the statue of limitations to ensure no corrupt, lawbreaking sleeveens do gaol time.
Alan O’Connor feels the need to attack the person and to fabricate fake Referenda. No point of substance from him , just shabby and cowardly bushwhacking attacks on a politician he detests.
Please leave Clare Daly in there for at least a few months. Think we all deserve a break from listening to her, but then again, probably a tad unfair on the prisoners already locked up.
Here in Ireland the Government do it because It can
Ignores its constitutions obligations;
tells the country it dose not give a damn.
That Shannon is part of Americas war plans.
Mountjoy has room enough for Enda and the Fine Gael
Lenister house battalion.
This Christmas for sure they’ll lock up the wrong woman.
Was it a garda chopper this time? I mean the police have nothing better to be doing with their overstretched resources. She should be released in time for last orders anyway and can join Mick in the hotel bar for a quick one, drink that is! Another 20K of taxpayers money down the drain.
What a country bring these 2 TDS to Limerick a nice earner for Gardai fair play to them but what a justice system. A Varakar chips in his 2p worth. 100s of people in hospital trollies and he is sucking up to anti drink lobbies. Drink is now only for Varadkar social look down the nose class
We are a sovereign nation (apparently) so why the hell shouldn’t we control what exactly it is that transits our airports? Clare and Mick were doing what the Irish state SHOULD be doing, CHECKING THEM!
If that’s breaking the law, then the law is an ass…
It really is a crooked country that we live in. To think that you only have to do 2 hours out of a 30 day sentence for non payment of a €2000 fine. Doesn’t that just make you proud to be Irish.
Elected legislators who have no respect for the law. Ironic. If they feel so strongly why don’t they become activists? Their job is to take part in the democratic process add legislators and by engaging in debate. They pick and choose which laws to obey which, again ironically isn’t democracy. Of course the paycheque at the end of the week is too good to pass up and the publicity will appeal to probably enough dopes to get themselves reelected. I wonder if they would have been so principled if they didn’t know that they would be left out in a couple of hours. They either respect the law of the land or they don’t. It’s clear they don’t. They have recourse to higher courts if they don’t agree with the law. Publicity stunts are a charade. .
Members of the Oireachtas who break the law have no place in Dail Eirinn.Mick Wallace,Claire Daly &Paul Murphy have and are being processed thru the criminal justice system. That’s not good.
The government should demand that the yanks bring a few dead bodies of Syrians on the return flight. We might as well see what the blood money pays for .
Enjoying the show. Let’s imprison these louts for good. Freeing them makes a mockhary of this state. I think they should be executed. Free to thinkers… The cheek
Pity they let them out…Mick should certainly be doing time for all the money he owes, but that seems to have been forgotten, can’t understand how he’s allowed to be a TD????
