Trainee Barrister Accused of Assaulting Gardaí | Belfast News

A dramatic early morning clash erupted in Dublin’s city center when a 35-year-old Belfast man, Dominic Gallagher—a self-described trainee barrister—attacked two gardaí, leaving one with a massive forehead injury and a chipped tooth. Gallagher, who claimed he was exiting a mental health facility and that his political views led to his involvement with services there, allegedly refused to leave a hostel after verbal abuse and racial remarks, then resisted arrest by running and disarming an officer. He insists resisting an unjust arrest isn’t a crime, citing family ties in Dublin and Galway. The court heard the assault was violent and escalated quickly, with both officers injured during the struggle. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
